Women are definitely not the fairer sex. We are fierce and fantastic warriors who have discovered that you don't always need a weapon that physically maims to make a difference.

WORDS.

Words my friends. They cause the brain to pause and consider. Words, when strung together in sentences and paragraphs and then formulated into entire essays with a direction behind them can soothe broken hearts and enlighten confused minds.

How blessed do I feel to be grouped with such a diversely talented collection of writers? How large does my heart feel to know that this moment in time will be one that I will look back upon someday with a swelling of pride and emotion?

I am overwhelmed and honored to be co-producing for a second year. It might seem silly, but to be able to put the title "co-producer" beside my name and actually OWN it is astonishing and amazing and... just... staggering.

See those ladies up there? They have been rehearsing and fine-tuning and fretting for months. They have invested so much of their time and lives into this show and we couldn't be more grateful for their efforts.

I hope you are able to experience this year's Listen To Your Mother show. I hope you are able to ride the emotional roller coaster that these women will take you on; it's going to be phenomenal!
