As I was talking with other Mormon women about my website a few months ago, an older woman said something that struck me. This sister told me how most LDS sites and church activities are geared toward younger women and their families. As she told me what she, as a woman in her 50s, would like to see on my site, she said the greatest thing. I'm not a spring chicken anymore, and I'd like a website that recognizes that. So, I decided to create a special section of my website for older women called Fall Chickens. Then, in women's conference when the Sister said that she was a fall hen, I knew I had come up with the right title a few weeks earlier.
