Girls supporting Girls

Planning to pick up all aspects of one's life and move it seamlessly to a different country is certainly not easy. Especially when things like friendships, bills, jobs, citizenship, and moving personal possessions are involved. But I have found so much comfort in a lovely group of women on www.uk-yankee.com. These girls, who are all going through the same daunting process as I am (some have already finished it) have offered me such a tremendous amount of support in the past year or two. Because of them, I have a better idea of what to expect--both good and bad. I also know that even though this may seem like an impossible task right now, they have done it and I can too.

It is so comforting to know that there are still women in this world who are willing to offer each other support and encouragement. In a time where women seem to be constantly competing with each other, it was an unexpected and lucky thing for me to come across the ladies on the forums and I am extremely thankful.
