I ...Oh how I loved reading your words about squam. I attended last year and arrived home a new person. There is something so magical about that lake and those trees. They whisper inspirational words of enourgment and soak up all your fears. Squam brought me out of my shell. People really saw me for the first time. And although I cannot make it to squam this year, just reading your words has opened up the flood gates for all my memories and has left me feeling happier, lighter, and more inpsired. I am ready again, to face the world. Thank you so much for sharing.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399776686952276114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777506989220366832.post-89153807844555958752009-06-11T16:15:31.853-04:002009-06-11T16:15:31.853-04:00so happy to have met you!!!!
