Goddesses

There are so many beautiful, smart, funny, sexy and STRONG women who live in the Terlingua area. One of them, Janet Sullivan, organized an annual Goddess Party years ago, and over the years the traditional May gathering at Janet's has become an almost magical, legendary event. Sadly, Janet passed away suddenly this past year, but her neighbor and good friend Elizabeth (pictured above) stepped up and carried the tradition on at her lovely home this past May 3. The event was open to all female residents and at its peak, there were about 50 lovely ladies in attendance. Endless laughter, most excellent music, fabulous food and catching up with each other were the order of the day. Of course, there were many tributes to Janet, who was dearly missed even though her presence was strongly felt.

This was my first Goddess Party and even now, nearly two weeks later, I am still smiling. What an amazing group of women! I am proud, honored and humbled to live among these strong, resilient ladies.

Here are some snapshots taken that day. I bet you can't look through them without smiling. Enjoy!
























Martha will host next year's Goddess Party. I'm already counting the days!

Thank you for the wonderful photos. I made the first several Goddess parties and wished I could have made this one. Micah was little enough at the first one that I had to bring him and he was made an honorary (?) Goddess!
