Loving memories from Sweden

Dear EBWN!

I am Berit from Sweden.  And I remember when I met so many wonderful women from Europe at the inspiring Acuto Women’s Seminars-conferences years ago. It does not mean, that I have forgotten all the wonderful friends from those inspiring women conferences; I do remember such exceptional ladies!

My daily life has changed a lot and I spend my days very often with six wonderful grandchildren, who bring so much of joy and happiness into my heart. My eldest son (42) needs support now and then because of the diagnose MS - multiple sclerosis. Almost all my energies go to my 2 son's families these days. I have 6 lovely grandchildren to give caring love to. God has greeted me with so many wonderful things in life and I say ' Thanks to You my Lord, I am a happy Baha’i.'

An E-mail was sent to me from a woman living in northern Sweden, who participated in the European Task Forces for Women’s Seminar/conference some years ago. I wanted to let you all know the effect those Seminars have hade on her life.

We had talked about the fact that self-esteem is not something everyone has for granted. She wrote...'it was hard to realize that I am worthy of all the good in life, but step by step I began to accept what I really am. The Women’s conferences I participated in have build up a base for the life I now live. A life with so much joy and happiness.

With heartfelt warmest wishes from Sweden
