Since I will be out of the office from Sept 14 to 25, I encourage you to contact
me soon if you plan to attend the support group starting Oct. 6.
The information follows:
I am offering a new monthly support group in October that will enable women
who live a little distance from my Chestnut Hill office to attend.
This support group is for women who are…
married to a man or recently
separated and attracted to a woman
who are…
Questioning their sexuality
Or beginning a coming out process
Confused about their options
Looking for support for making critical decisions
& moving forward in the lesbian community
The group will bring married women together in a 5-session monthly support
group. We will focus on the needs of women going through the process of facing
one's sexuality, being married, and all of the related issues that arise.
Participants will share with others who understand and will receive my
professional guidance as a therapist and author of Living Two Lives: Married to
a Man & In Love with a Woman.
Group meets once a month for five sessions.

Many thanks.
I am trying to find women who are interested in being interviewed for a new
Oprah episode
who fit the following scenario
Married or recently separated, who fell in love with a woman after marriage,
with no prior
attractions to women- this is a totally new experience, out of the blue, so to
speak.
If you fit this scenario and want to be on a possible show, please contact me
ASAP at
joanne@.... They move very quickly to develop these shows.
Thank you very much.
Joanne

Thank you all for contacting me about the newsletter. Since many of you
received it, I want
to make a suggestion for those who didn't. The newsletter is sent out as a mass
mailing and
some servers may be filtering it out as spam. Please contact your server and
ask them to
accept any email coming from lavendervisionsannouncements@yahoogroups.com. This
will
hopefully remedy the problems.
Again, thank you for your responses.

I need to clarify whether my email was working when I sent my last newsletter-
for
September- on Breaking Open.
If you did receive the newsletter, I hope you will let me know. If I start to
get a lot of
responses, I will send a message that I know the answer.
Thank you.
Joanne

I am sending a quick note to people who might be interested in seeing a re-run
of the Oprah
episode, Wives Confess They're Gay. It will be aired tomorrow, Wed., Jan. 9th.
I learned
recently that the episode received the GLAAD award for outstanding Talk Show
Episode. It
must have had an impact because this is the third time Oprah has shown it. I
believe the
show has helped many women. Thank you Oprah!
This is a quick note to let you (who live in the Philly general area) know that
we now have
some opennings for my Bi-weekly Wednesday PM support group. This is an ongoing
group for women who are currently or formerly married and attracted to women.
We have
women in the group who represent all stages of the awakening process, from just
questionning their sexuality to making decisions regarding marriage to dealing
with what
happens after separation from a marriage. Issues regarding children, dating,
or whether
to stay married are all a part of this group. The primary purpose of the group
is to help
women move out of isolation and receive support for whatever their particular
focus is. It
has been a warm and welcoming group of women. The group is led by me, is
located in
the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia, and costs $50 per session. Please
email me if
you or someone you know is interested. Thank you.
Joanne
