I Used To Wonder why this turned out differently for me than it did for Helen. Did she pray better than I did? Is that why she got her man?
But then I remembered that our goal was not to find husbands, but to improve our dismal view of men. I met a guy who was incredible. And he opened up a whole new world for me. He taught me courage. He taught me strength. I used to think those masculine qualities were something separate from me and that I needed them to complete my femininity. Now I see they're a part of me already.
I'm still amazed at how much changing my perception of men changed my life. And The River Wild wasn't the end of it. I continue to see much nobler, more Godlike qualities expressed by all the men I meet.
Sometimes I wish I had a nice pretty ribbon to tie up this package. But it's not the end of my story. It's not over yet. It's never over.
