Let me put it this way..STEPHANIE has given us the TOYS and YOU, COVEN MOTHER, have given us the PLACE to enjoy life, have fun, meet other women, let our hair down. You have no idea how much I and and surely many of us, needed this, just to feel alive again!!!!

Morning all, what a great interview with the person that started this wonderful place for us!

I'm all for us supporting a charity. I may be not able to donate much in money, but I can make flyers and other stuff if needed!

WOW! What a great interview Clara! And Lisa you are my Goddess, you are amazing! I don't think any of us could thank you enough for what we get from this site. I am so glad I get to interact with so many incredible ladies everyday! You guys are my heros!

Yes! I laughed hysterically when I read the homepage! I think I joined that day!

I love what Lisa says about growing up and not letting go of what you love. Everyone really is young on the inside!

I'm 26 and have always looked young for my age. I was 23 when my son was born and felt I had to look and act like a "Mom" so people wouldn't look at me and think I'm a teenage statistic! But I like being young and fun! So now I've got my obsession with a YA vampire novel and I don't even try anymore! This site helped me realize that I can still be fun and cool while being a mom! I really do love my fellow TMs!!

So now instead of trying to dress all mature, I wear my "She Runs with Vampires" shirt.

Thank you Clara and Lisa for doing this! And thank you Lisa for being the most awesomely amazing person that you are and for giving us this world we can all escape to and feed the addiction!! What would we have done if you hadn't? I think that's why I love this bit from your interview so much:

Quote:

My original vision for the site hasn’t changed much. I still want to provide a positive, uplifting, escape to a place full of friends and fun. However, I can see the potential of this site is greater than I ever anticipated, with so many amazing women, I’ve been able to feel the strength in our numbers and the example that we are. I’d like for others to get the message that we may be working women, and/or just moms, but that we like to have fun too. That we have some mad skills! When we put our heads together, there ain’t nothin’ we can’t do! We have interests and talents and enthusiasm. We’ve found our fountain of youth and everyone should have that in their lives to keep from disappearing into the mundane routines we get into as life settles down. I want girls to look to us and say to themselves, “I want to be like that when I’m a mom, or aunt, or lawyer, or receptionist. I don’t want to ever let go of who I am and what I love.” Also, I’d like girls to stop being so mean to each other and realize that this is how it can be! A worldwide network of women is perhaps the strongest force upon the face of the earth. When we are older life teaches us that we women are here for each other in ways that only we can understand and appreciate. We all need each other.

Thank you!!!

And I'd also like to say that I think the charity thing is a great idea. If you make stuff.....they will come (and buy)! So I hope that all works out! I think all the ones that have been suggested are great!

Lisa,

You are so awesome!!! Thanks for bringing us all together. It's true what the others have said and what you, yourself have said, we need this site to be young and not get caught up in the daily rut. Thanks for the morals and good thoughts! I love that you made a place where we can go and strengthen each other as women. You have created a bit of heaven on earth!

We like the idea of a massive blood drive in which we all wear our TMs shirts. (My mom's sitting behind me, so I feel the need to write in the plural. )

I so cannot see you being shy! Can't wait to meet you!!! (sometime)

(Oh, off the subject, but where did you serve our mission? That is so great! I served in NYNY North, Spanish speaking. What an experience.)

Thanks for the interview!

Lisa thank you soo much for everything you do for us. You are one of my heros, because you made me realize (and my husband too) that I am not insane! When I saw the home page and the description you had on there, I knew I was home. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you...a thousand times over.

Ditto! I think this website has brought together some of the best women ever. I am so grateful to be able to be a part of this group. It's so funny that this huge group started because we all thought we were the only one. Thank you Lisa for all you time, talent and inspiration. This really has been a fun and exciting addition my life. It just makes the books (and waiting for the movie) so much more enjoyable being on here-it makes me feel like I am a part of it.

Lisa,

What can I say but "Thank you" for creating this wonderful place. I don't fit the married and have children catagory, but I meet the over 25 requirement by many years and I've been made to feel very welcome by a lot of the members. Through e-mails and pm I have had the fun of meeting some wonderful people from all over the country and outside the USA. I'm beginnng to think of them as friends and not just twilight fans. So Lisa Thank you again!

Cathy

I can't believe how this has grown from the first posts. I had no idea that there was such a huge group of people just like me! Now that The Host is out I am excited to have a place to 'chat' with others who understand the need to ignore my children and feed my family PB&J until I get to the end... and then start over again. Stephenie's books are a wonderful therapy for me, and I love having a place to read what others think!

Way to go 'Clara!'
