Thank you to MaryJane, Meg and everyone at the farm for giving us the forum to meet, greet and create amazing friendships on!
I was thinking this morning how blessed I am to have so many wonderful friends. I love being able to meet wonderful women from all over the world! Without this forum I don't think I would have met 90% of you and each day I love reading posts about day to day life, trials and tribulations. I love that if I have a question about...well Anything! there will be a farmgirl out there that will have the answer or be able to point me in the right direction.
The Farmgirl Connection is like this beautiful patchwork quilt where each one of us is our own block, but sewn together through our friendships and conversations.
Thank you all for being here and sharing your lives- You are such a big part of my life now, too!

Alee,
Very well said. I always feel like I am home when I come here. I've met so many wonderful women on this board and I cannot ever thank them enough for their friendship, kindness and strength. I sometimes feel like I am so weird. But then I come here and there are so many like minded ladies such as me that it always comforts me and makes me "know that I am not the only one and that I am perfectly fine just the way that I am"
hugs

I feel the exact same way! I was just thinking the same thing yesterday! We are truly, truly blessed to all have each other, to have this wonderful gathering place, and to have everyone at MaryJanes Farm! Thank YOU, too, Alee! Hugs - Nini

I agree - I was feeling kind of disgruntled today about some "stuff" - but if I can take a break and "talk" with some of you, I feel so much better. Yes, thanks Mary Jane... Wishing you many, many years of love, friendship, and success. You go girl!

I'm still new to the Farmgirl Connection and hope to join the Sisterhood soon, but feel the same way. I can't wait to log on each day and see what's new. Thanks Mary Jane and thanks to all you wonderful women out there with your open and loving hearts.

Couldn't agree more Alee! It is so neat to meet all of you and hear your stories, your day to day activities, your recipes and your encouragement. Mary Jane and Meg did a really cool thing when they thought this up!!

Absolutely, Alee! This place is so awesome! Whenever I am talking about someone with some neat idea or some new friendship or a funny story, my family will ask "Is that someone you met from MaryJanes?" When I get something in the mail, its "Did you get that from someone at MaryJanes?" Whenever I'm stuck on what to do or have a question about something, they say "Hey, why don't you post on MaryJanes?" Even my FAMILY knows how much I like this place! It's so wonderful to have a group of like minded women to "hang out" with. I'm thankful to have "met" all of you, and hope to really MEET some of you soon!

Count me in with all of the other Farm Girls who absolutely love the MJF Connection. It is true that there is someone here for whatever you need be it hugs, welcome, niche questions on some topic or countless ways to have fun while living a more grounded and green way of life. Mary Jane has given each of us the gift of each other through bringing us together on this forum and with her incredible magazine!!Mary Jane, thank-you!!!!!!!!!!!! Even though I just became a Farm Chick this summer, I cannot imagine my life now without all of you in this Connection! Talk about strength in numbers! Totally Amazing!
I love all of you Farm Girls!!

Alee,
So true! This has become such a big part of my (and my family's, due to the impact on me) life. If I "miss" a few days from here, I feel lost! I've always said it makes this big ol' world so much cozier and homey! Thanks Alee for expressing just how we feel! Hugs to you!
Amy - letter on the way to you, hon!

Indeed, this is so true. I know that my overall attitude towards life has improved since finding Mary Jane and the Farmgirls. I feel like I've adopted a sunnier attitude towards everything, become less critical of those around me, and have just become more content.

| So true, Alee, so true! I have met so many great women here, I never thought a friendship could grow online but it does especially when we have so much in common, and you Alee are part of the glue that keeps us together! |

Amen Alee! I want to thank everyone for being such fabulous women! I know I'm one of the young uns' on the forum, but I am so blessed to have such good role models and friends here. I look forward everyday to seeing what's new here, and I wouldn't have that without all of you:)

Simply said- what we have all discovered with the help of Mary Jane is amazing. It just makes your life better-plain and simple.
Thank you to Mary Jane, Meg, Brian and everyone at "the farm" and to all my fellow farmgirl sisters- you inspire me daily!
With gratitude and smiles,
