In this time of Thanksgiving, we on the GWP steering committee are grateful:
- for Ruthann Knechel Johansen, whose speech 30 years ago inspired Church of the Brethren women to start Global Women’s Project
- for all of our sisters around the world who are standing up for themselves and their daughters, reaching for justice
- for the dozens of women in the US who have served on the GWP steering committee
- for all of the women and men in the US and around the world who thoughtfully live simply, that others may simply live.
Global Women's Project 
I am thankful for Sed and Awk, two beautiful kittens who bring so much joy to my life!!
I will always be thankful for Phil. and Louie Rieman for the great love they shared with me and the women of Africa. It is through them that I got connected to my extended family of the Church of the Brethren. I love you a lot all of you. Be happy always.
