You are invited to journey with the four of us through these experiences we continue to have in the classrooms of our lives. Our common bond is in the sisterhood of life, teaching, ministering yet still learning. We bonded during a city-wide school strike that we believe was orchestrated by a power greater than the work stoppage of our school custodians. We are all retired now and share our stories with others who hopefully will benefit from an everlasting gifting that has been placed in all of us that compels us to receive and respond in a proprietary manner.
