Welcome back, ladies! It's the happiest time of the year, once again. You thought the happiest time of year was Christmas? No! It's the beginning of MOPS! It's time for another wonderful year of fellowship, delicious breakfasts, Mentor-Mom wisdom, learned speakers, laughs, and kid-free fun. If today's meeting is any indication, we are in for a wonderful year.

This year our MOPS theme is "Be You Bravely"; you may have noticed it on our snug-but-comfy red t-shirts this morning (You too can have a snug-but-comfy t-shirt! Only $9 apiece- let me know if you want one). You probably also picked it up in the ice-breaker game we played this morning. The best part about this year's theme is that it applies to everyone, as illustrated in our shares with our introductions, and with all the different categories that Gara and Rebecca fit into the game. There are a million ways to be brave, both big and small, and I'd be willing to bet that we all do at least one brave thing everyday. Deciding to be a mom is brave, especially given how hard it can be to get there, never mind the trials and travails that wait on the other side of delivery/adoption. Finding out about the brave things the rest of you have done was a great way to start getting to know you! I'm looking forward to learning more. Let's have a great year!
