She is one of many women who share a common bond ... the desire to find her own individuality and to share it with others ... in this fast paced world of ... get it done yesterday ... so many of us have had to put our own needs ... wants ... and ... desires on hold for far too long
After years of being ... daughter ... sister ... wife ... mother ... even grandmother ... she wants and needs to discover where she ... the woman ... fits in today ... and on this journey it would be wonderful to exchange thoughts and feelings with women who share the same goals ... she is frightened and excited all at the same time ... but ... she is not alone
Her family only sees her as she was ... caring ... nurturing ... always there for them ... but inside she is evolving ... coming to grips with the changes in her life and looking forward to the future ... she is going thru a ... change of life ... but not just in the physical sense ... she is becoming more aware of what is out there in this big world ... and ... she wants to experience it ... taste all it has to offer
Altho time is moving on ... she still takes pride in herself ... inside and out ... she is more woman ... now ... than ever before ... she has lived life and has gained wisdom and inner strength thru her mistakes ... and she knows it is never too late to learn something new ... over the years she has become more thoughtful and creative ... and she knows now is her time to shine

Her Name is WOMAN
Our goal ... as founders of this group ... is for this to be a place where we can all share the positives ... in life ... to help each other let go of what was ... and ... move on to what can be
Altho we will not discriminate against anyone based on race ... religion ... ethnic background or sexual orientation ... our terms and guidelines do require you be a woman ... aged 30 and up ... in order that we may relate to each other emotionally as well as generationally
Pleaz ... be sure that this group will meet your needs ... before ... you decide to join us ... if you are not sure this group will be right for you ... there are many other wonderful groups out there you can join
Cliques will NOT be Tolerated in this Group
That is what instant messengers and personal e-mail are for ... if we find this is happening ... the members involved will be notified ... and ... if it persists ... they will be asked to leave the group ... everyone should have equal say ... and know that what they have to say is important ... and believing this ... we have established a Grievance Committee ... for just this reason
Independent Thinking
and
Freedom of Speech
is
Absolutely Essential
Speaking of terms and guidelines ... I guess we should take a moment to add them here
We are an Invitation Only group ... in order to be invited ...
You must have a web site ... and ... it must have actual content to it ... creative ... thought provoking ... interesting ... not just a page of links ... and preferably an ... About Me ... page so that we can get a feel for who you are ... prior to admission ... credit MUST be given ... copyright infringement is absolutely forbidden ... NO pornography ... NO negativism or hate ... whether directed to yourself or others ... tasteful sensuality is welcome ... and ... we stress the word TASTEFUL
Once invited ... and ... you make the decision to join ...
You must display the Her Name is WOMAN web ring on your web site ... it does not have to be on your homepage ... but must be easily found ... you must also display your membership plaque ... but ... that will be required to be on your homepage ... you will be required to actively participate ... and ... be devoted and committed to the group and its members ... we understand the tendency is to join several groups ... and ... while we will not restrict the number of groups you may be involved with ... we would prefer you not be too deeply involved ... cuz a serious commitment to this group is expected
We will require you to send gifts ... adoptables ... sig tags ... whatever ... for our members' special days ... such as birthdays and anniversaries ... as well as sign their guest book ... but ... we are such a small ... intimate group ... that should not be any problem whatsoever ... that is one of the many things that is so special about our group ... we have formed such strong bonds of sisterhood with each other ... giving isnt a chore ... it is a pleasure
We also encourage the use of Yahoo Messenger ... in order that we might conference with select members from time to time ... it is free and relatively eazy to use ... and ... has already proven to be a GOD send on more than one occasion ... but again ... this will not be required ... only strongly encouraged ... voting for your site will not be allowed ... and all announcements should go thru one of the co-founders ... and ... to keep us all from being totally confused ... we have decided to adopt the use of one name per member ... in other words ... every member will have a different name ... encouraging individuality
We have purposely left the graphic blank on our web ring ... and have chosen to be a little different by allowing our members to place an image or a collage of images of themselves on their ring ... this group should be about you ... and ... we would like to know who the WOMAN is ... but ... if you are not comfortable with that concept ... then a graphic depicting an interest ... personal to you ... would be acceptable ... you will receive an e-mail with the code for the ring ... and a separate e-mail with your ID number ... you must make sure you add your ID number to the code on your page ... if you need help with placing your graphic or adding your site ID ... please send us an e-mail ... we will be happy to help
Now for the GoooD stuff ... now that all that awful business is out of the way ... our intention is to keep this group relatively small ... so that we can really get to know each other ... to be there when one of our members needs a shoulder to cry on ... or an ear to bend ... but bare in mind ... we wont tolerate whiners ... lol ... this group is a concept born from twin-souls ... wanting to belong ... yet feeling slightly out of place with the status quo ... we strive to be unique in our endeavor ... we are not angels ... not by any stretch of the imagination ... but we are good ... honest ... caring women ... looking for others like us ... posers need not apply ... we are looking for women that strive to express their artistic talents and creative thinking ... woman who want to believe in themselves and in the goodness of others ... and women who want to have
FUN
Speaking of fun ... this past July several of our members got together for a long weekend in Ocean City Maryland ... we all had such an awesome time ... felt like we had known each other forever even tho it was the first time meeting in person ... we stayed up half the nite and just gabbed and goofed off like a bunch of teenagers ... course some of us just had to wake up at the crack of dawn ... and wake everyone else up in the process .. lol ... but it was all good ... we truly became sistas ... in every sense ... after that trip ... cant wait til our next get together ... and hoping all of our sistas we be able to come
If you have not received an invitation to join ... but think YOU are who WE are looking for ...
send us an e-mail with your url ... and we will be happy to stop by for a visit
