This site would not be a site without the great contributions from the many writers who have stumbled upon this place over the past few years. There are too many to mention at the moment but you will find their great work inside. Each author retains their own copyrights and they merely give me permission to use their prose. I thank you all for your graciousness, you've opened the doors for others to speak up for themselves!

I'd like to say a special thank you to Holli Smith-Boyd for her great image map on the front page.  She tapped into something very fitting for the site, beyond my own vision.

I'd also like to give a warm hug and thanks to Hairfish graphics for the images of the women at their computers, in the quotes section. I can not forget thanking Deegee's Digi Designs for her adorable graphics of Mammy in the Housekeeping section and Mammy tribute. I owe a special thanks to Alison Ashwell for her Cerridwen graphic on the Crone Ceremony page. Before I forget, I owe thanks to Jason for my Night Sky font that I use on all the section heads. It's freeware, available at Fonts by Gregory and Friends.

None of this would be possible for me, Rochelle Jourdan, the editor and web crafter to work on, if it weren't for the enormous support and shared vision of my wonderful husband, Udo Jourdan.  Together, we have built this site with the love and respect we share for each other and the hope we have for a better World, where people can learn to respect themselves and everyone they come in contact with.

None of this would be possible if you, the readers weren't here reading and keeping my vision alive with your positive feedback and signing the guest book! I guess much of the world *is* ready for the messages here, it's wonderful to know that, thanks so much to all!

Respectfully yours,

Rochelle Jourdan
