A Toast for Girls' Night

When we talk about bringing ourselves to the table,

it means being present, 

                         engaged, 

                                      and contributing.

Thank you for bringing your whole selves to this table tonight. 

All of you...hearts, 

                  souls 

                                        and beautiful faces.

 Your sweet hearts...

                          some are broken,

                                          mended 

                                                   and mending.

Your beautiful souls...

                     each is broken, 

                                healed 

                                         and healing.

Your lovely faces...

                    all are radiant,

                                  gorgeous 

                                       and smiling.

Here's to breathing the air of grace,

   living in each moment,

   and celebrating an ordinary Friday night

Made special by friendship in candlelight.
