Welcome to LivingintheHeartland

I believe that women are bound by common experiences, some painful such as menstrual cramps, and some joyous like viewing a holiday through the eyes of a child. We all have the capacity to identify with love, with loss, and the desire to be empowered to achieve the former and avoid the other. I'd like this blog to encourage women to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and promote tolerance so that we all may live safe, happy lives. This blog should be a place where women feel comfortable to launch their own questions and contribute advice and support.
