Hello everyone,

 Our first Women's Conference Call far exceeded my expectations.  As Kathy shared her relentless efforts in her pursuit of getting answers regarding the cause of her body odor and all the obstacles she faced for 7 years, we began to see part of ourselves in many of the various aspects of her life.  This journey helped us slowly but surely to feel more and more comfortable as we began to realize that although we may come from different backgrounds, we all shared many very similar feelings and experiences.  I believe that we have taken the first steps in removing the 'taboo' feeling from these experiences, as I hope all of you feel the same.

 I wholeheartedly hope that these Women's Conference Calls serve as a launching pad for us to reach out to each other via emails, AIM/MSN Messenger, and/or phone calls to seek and find the support we so very much need from each other.  Please feel free to email me at mpdela1@googlemail.com and we can always set up a mutually beneficial time to chat on AIM or MSN Messenger, or on the phone, whichever you feel most comfortable with.  Our Women's Conference Calls are all about 'women for women'!

 Thanks for your friendship,

 María
