~~~in our hearts~~~
we're holdin' women in our hearts this month!
yeah, go figure. women everywhere!
terri had the privilege of seeing 'the color purple'
recently and was so moved at the struggles and triumphs
in women's lives. daily, women come thru our website and mail boxes
with their powerful stories. and then, just recently, sharon
sent us this moving letter from jimmy carter recognizing the
discrimination against women world wide. i cried when i read it.
won't you take a moment with us and hold women everywhere
in your hearts? their spirit, their struggle, their power, their
triumphs, their heartaches, their love....we hold women and
all that they are in our hearts this month! may everyone of us
come to see the beauty and strength that dwells within us.

~~~you guys!!!~~~
* we got a great inspirational story from sooz last month and wanted
to share! we'd love to get flooded with these, so if you have one of your
own (and we're sure you do!) send them our way to help encourage
others along the way! check out sooz's story here!
* our buddy, camille, is announcing the arrival of her brand new book!
'Whispers ` The Often Subtle (& sometimes boisterous)Voice of Truth.
oh, you guys! go check out her excitement and see what she's offering!!
(for those of you who purchase, i just did that and found myself going
around and around in circles. you actually will create two profiles.
so when they ask you again to create profile, just click that and that's
your billing info part!) and for anyone overseas who wants one, but
doesn't want to pay shipping, you can get a PDF version! just email
camille personally at therajaproject@gmail.com! yay!

it only fitting to make our wonderful person of the month someone

thought provoking for terri. go check larry out! and then we've got one of our all
time favorite artists featured this month! if you haven't met denise, the time

~~~quote of the day!!!~~~
yay!!

zakk and noah are wowing us once again with all their talents!
they've gone ahead and made it possible for us to offer a
quote of the day for anyone who's interested! simply sign up
here and you'll get a bone sigh delivered to your email box
every single day! how totally cool is that?!!
~~~help?~~~
okay. i'm finding this a bit embarrassing.
but we did it. we made a 'testimonial page.'
so now, you can go on over and write something about
a bone sigh you bought.
the idea is to help people trying
to figure out what to get, or if
they should get it or whatever.
anything that you think might be helpful that way.
a very sweet friend sent me a little blurb she did about
bone sighs and we put that up. the idea of an empty page
was more than terri could handle!! they can be really practical
things, they don't have to be really ohhy and ahhy. and if
you have something that's not so flattering, maybe you could
just say it gently? whew. this is gonna be tough. but we think
it might be helpful. so please, help us make the page look
not quite so empty! thank you!!!
~~~re-do's!~~~
