[Women] greetings -- Check-in

Mon Mar 23 05:28:01 CDT 2020

Greetings, friends --  I am agreeing with both Jane and Annie.  The A List for the Women of FUUSM is a good way for us to keep in touch.  Let's reserve Zoom for specific meetings.  Our numbers would be very difficult to manage in one Zoom session, but we can each add on to this Check-in.  The Worship & Music Committee (with Kat) met yesterday to do some planning.  I'll share the results soon, but using the email List for Women was one suggestion, and it seems to be happening organically.  Personally, I am okay and feeling grateful for the particulars of my overall situation.  
Here's the thought our meeting opened with yesterday:  "Once upon a time, when women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy.  The birds still remember what we have forgotten, that the world is meant to be celebrated." -- Terry Tempest Williams    When Women Were Birds: Fifty-four Variations on Voice
Enjoy the arriving spring and take care -- Martha McG

Hi Annie and everyone. 

I am dong fine and just wanted to check in.  We could do Zoom but it is getting lots of use and who knows how long it will continue to be free.  There were hints of that when I signed in as they were limiting what was in the basic free version.  I know it is not the best but this email system is accessible to  most of us.  It is what we have been using so we are use to it.  

We might as well start where we are.  Whoever wants to check in that is great.   Just to say "Hello" is sufficient.  We all know each other and i think we are comfortable with this medium of communication for the time being.  

Let us know how you are doing and what are some of the things you would like to discuss.  If you have something to share that would be great.

Do you have suggestions as to how we should proceed?  

Best,  Jane

  Dear Friends;  It seems important that we find a way to communicate with 
  each other during this emergency.  Do you have some ideas of how we 
  might get together online?  I was thinking we could have a Zoom.com call 
  online, and pick a topic for discussion.  The call would include a 
  check-in as well.  Just some thoughts as I wonder how the weeks will 
  treat us without getting together in some way.

  We're all fine at Blue Rock Station.  It seems quite odd to tell people 
  they can't join us...this is quite the opposite of how we've lived our 
  entire life together.  However I plan to get through this as unscathed 
  as possible.  We've been used to not shopping for the past four months 
  since it is our Thanks for Nothing Season so when we realized we'd 
  better stay in (a week ago Friday) we went to the grocery and the feed 
  store to replenish some scooby snacks and then we just went back to 
  living Thanks for Nothing Season except now it's likely to be a sixth 
  month season. YIKES!

  My latest activity, besides working on salvaging our business year, is 
  to plant some trees that arrived earlier in the week, and also I made 
  some shampoo.  The ingredients in shampoo are frightening and I love the 
  way my homemade shampoo feels, even after a few hours.

  The goats have tried to scare me with two of them being anemic and the 
  third one nearly as dangerously sick.  I've worked a lot of magic on 
  them so I'm hoping they will get through this spell alive.  The rain 
  does dangerous things to goats especially when it rains this much.

  This is my attempt at getting you to engage.  I'd love to hear what 
  you're doing and what's happening in your neighborhood, OR the latest 
  about the FUUSM Sunday services.  Annie
