Much thoughtfulness and consideration has been given to including this page as a necessary entry portal into our website. The women who have built and maintain this site do so because we have received immense blessings and benefits from our journeys along these paths and together we strongly feel a deep urge to share the balance, peace, fulfillment and joy we have found with other intelligent women by providing comfort and information to others.

Yet we also recognize that we may receive visitors here from time to time whose present circumstances and needs may well exceed the scope of our project. The subject matter of this site is controversial and may offend some.

Therefore PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE ENTERING AND USING THIS SITE. THIS PAGE MAY BE CONSIDERED LONG BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND IT BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER.
