The Main Circle

The Main Circle is the front door, and the place where our week unfolds. Meg opens each conversation here, and the circle answers.

The Main Circle unfolds in a gentle rhythm, with different things to meet, discover, consider, and celebrate as the weeks go by.

Member Stories are encounters with women worth meeting and the lives, choices, humor, and wisdom that made them who they are.

Table Questions put one irresistible question before the Circle. They take only a moment to answer, and part of the fun is seeing where everyone else lands.

Our Lists gather something wonderfully specific and worth discovering: books women could not put down, places they loved, pleasures to try, and recommendations worth passing on.

Small Wins give us the chance to celebrate one good thing, however small, because the small wins are never really small.

You may also find a personal note from Meg, something she has been thinking about, noticing, or simply wants to share with the Circle.

Each post gives us somewhere to begin. What women notice, add, remember, recommend, and offer one another in the replies is what makes the Main Circle come alive.

Because every conversation begins with Meg, you never need to wonder what to post here. Read quietly, answer one, or come back often. There is no right way to take part.

When you want to begin a conversation of your own

There are five places, and each one answers a question.

The Storm for uncertainty and life transitions such as separation, divorce, widowhood, grief, empty nesting, and other periods of change or loss.

The Next Chapter for the ideas, ambitions, and possibilities ready for more room.

Travel & Adventure for destinations, travel stories and photographs, solo travel, recommendations, practical advice, and possible companions.

Joy Garden for photographs, recipes, books, pets, celebrations, discoveries, and the small bright things in everyday life.

Local Chapters for finding women nearby and gathering in person.

There is always something waiting for you, but never so much that this becomes another thing you have to keep up with. Nothing here is scheduled live, and there is no meeting to log into. Come when it suits you, read what you missed, and respond when you are ready.
