About Wisdom She Wrote
Founded and led by a group of besties who have come together to share our life experiences and wisdom with others. We met and became friends early in our careers, and our friendship has endured as we’ve moved to different parts of the country and navigated through different stages of our lives, including starting families.
Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing not only the fun and laughter in life but also the valuable lessons and insights we’ve gained from various experiences. This type of wisdom often comes from personal growth and learning over time, rather than from formal education or job training.
THE THING IS – WE’RE STILL LEARNING AND GAINING NEW WISDOM FROM OUR DAY TO DAY EXPERIENCES
So we have created a space where people can come together to learn from each other’s experiences and find camaraderie in the journey of life. It’s a reminder that some of the most valuable lessons and insights in life come from our interactions with others and the shared experiences we accumulate along the way.
We’re delighted that you’ve joined us. Thank you very much for taking the time to laugh, learn and read our words.
