It is the start of a new year and time to look forward. I’m not sad to see 2009 fade into memory, though I know nothing is wasted according to our Creator. I am looking forward to stepping out in faith into another technical arena called the web meeting or online seminar. My heart has been to create a safe place for women to come and know they are not alone. A place where we are real about the pain, and just as real about healing and the truth. I know not all women have local resources, so the internet seems like a natural solution.

Of course there is the small hurdle of my not being technologically savvy. Thankfully, I have a few friends willing to help. So, I am in the process of seeking the best venue, doing tests, and soon we will have web classes available. My goal is to offer a place where women can come and ask questions while remaining anonymous. I understand and honor this desire. Not everyone is called to write a book about their lives. I had a few talks of my own about it with God. He won and He was right.

I have sent out a few emails to women who have contacted me through the website and the response has been positive. In addition, I already have several great ideas for topics. Several women want me to address what it looks like when they are no longer with their husbands. Since this is often the case for different reasons. It is important to talk about how the healing looks different, but is still essential. There is also the important question of dating and what that looks like. Of course, not everyone will want to be in on this class, so that’s the beauty. Other topics like Who to Tell and How to Talk to Kids might be of interest. I am open to other topic ideas and welcome your input.

My desire is to keep the cost down; $5 or less per class should cover the costs. In addition, I hope to offer the downloads for those who couldn’t make the live meeting. I’m thinking about twice a month to start and then we will see what the response it. Each class will be limited to 30 to 50 gals, but since not everyone will want every class that shouldn’t be a problem. In the future, we could do a webinar format which would allow many more participants. So, as you can see this is an evolving process.

Just wanted to keep you in the loop and let you know what’s coming in 2010. I’m so thankful for the privilege of this platform and for the women who have been ministered to by Hope After Betrayal and this site. My heart and prayers are for your continued healing and for hope to reign in each heart. Thanks for your encouragement and support. Let’s anticipate together what this new year hold!!!
