Has it been one of those weeks? Take a break. Join us for a carefree evening of discussion and socializing ... as we discuss the salon topic over snacks and beverages.
Do we trust love and acceptance as genuine? Do we feel vulnerable receiving love when we don't feel it for ourselves? Does receiving love make us feel like we owe in kind? Sharing affection deepens our friendships, but is this only true if people can receive it? What stops us from receiving love? Please review the quick articles and YouTube videos below... and come to share your thoughts and ideas. Please bring wine, an appetizer or a dessert to share. Feel free to invite a friend who would like to join the discussion and get to know a little more about Newton Women's Forum.
