Comments for Women for Living in Community http://www.womenlivingincommunity.com Sun, 04 Dec 2011 07:53:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on Perks ! by Paula Carter http://www.womenlivingincommunity.com/shared-housing/perks/#comment-50 Paula Carter Sun, 04 Dec 2011 07:53:44 +0000 http://www.womenlivingincommunity.com/?p=463#comment-50 I've thought of living in a community of this type for years. My friends have been talking all around the issue, some even have large properties on which to build but no one has taken an actual step in the direction we need to go. I think we picture it as a time that will come...but not soon. I'm 61 and feel the time is now BEFORE I need help. I want to enjoy the feeling of security among friends who support each other while I'm still able to form relationships like the ones I've read about. We've all dreamed of living like the Golden Girls. I believe we deserve it. Marry, raise children, work, retire then forge a life that allows us to enjoy ourselves without the pressure of handling it all alone. I'm sharing the information I glean here with many of my friends who have been discussing this for such a long time. I'm so happy to have discovered this website and all of you who have written. Thank you, thank you! I’ve thought of living in a community of this type for years.

Very great stuff. I am sure others will enjoy as well. Looks like we are promoting some of the same ways to live. The wave of the future for many of us. Thanks for your contributions!

The importance of some personal space to live in and possibly entertain is key. The space to be with others when you desire over meals is also very critical in the share living type of arrangement you describe. Do you know of others in your local geography that might be interested as well? Soon we will have ways to connect women in various geographies who are looking for others. Where do you live? We are in the process of getting a guidebook to assist those of you to take the next steps in your journey. Please feel free to call me to discuss further. You are ahead of the curve.

(When I say Christian women, I do not mean only people who attend a specific church...rather women who are committed to following Him...not someone's idea about what their church should be like) I've got some ideas on how to build a community that would have central areas for cooking, sitting around a huge fireplace and each woman would have their own bedroom suite (bed and sitting areas; bathroom and perhaps a small kitchenette.) Anyway, I like the idea and would like to find other who may also be interested. Thanks for listening. Raphaela Deming I too have thought about how to create living communities for Christian women.
