The Kindness of Sisterly Support

"For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather; To cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands."
~ Christina Rossetti

A friend of mine recently published a book and has received incredible support from her sister network.  Fans have included work colleagues, retreat sisters and other friends.  She always has a great turnout at her book-related events.  And when some of the sisters cannot attend (after all, they are wives, mothers, professional women...), they are always in touch with the ones who have gone to find out how it went.  It is wonderful to see the wave of support and the good wishes for my friend's continued success.
