Hey everyone - 

The entire team from Glow wanted to drop by and say "Happy New Year!"

There are not that many of us - being a start-up and all - but we wanted you to know how committed we are to you and to Glow. Our 2014 was filled with lots of long hours, product calls, cross country trips, brain-storming sessions that lasted late LATE in to the night. All of our combined efforts rest now in your hands - in this app, in this powerful tool that has the capacity to change lives.

We are so grateful for this opportunity to make a true impact and to do what matters. Not everyone gets this chance. By some miracle, we have. And our promise to you is that we will not squander it. Glow is not app. Not for us. Glow is a mission to empower women the world over.

And thank you for being part of this mission. Thank you for creating this incredible, amazing community. We want to end this note by anonymously quoting some of the truly touching entries we have gotten for the Glow Contest (Winner to be announced Jan 3rd.) so that you can see what a difference you all make in each other's lives. It's awe-inspiring. THANK YOU! 

Here is to a fantastic, healthy, fulfilling and glowing 2015!

"Glow helped me stay on the right path and guided me gently along the way. I found advice and support for not only my unique health situation but also the seemingly trivial worries. I went through many ups and downs but I suddenly had the overwhelming camaraderie of friends from all over the world to help me!"

"The <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android">Glow app</a> really did turn my 2014 around by giving me a sense of community and a better look at living a healthy life. "

"Everyone in the glow community are amazing people & reading their stories is inspiring."

"The Glow community readily answers any question you may think is "stupid" without judgment and I'm never afraid to ask anything within the community anymore. This app has just made this part of my life that much more stressless."

"More than anything I am beyond thankful for the community, although I don't contribute yet it is so nice to read other stories and not be alone."

"Glow is truly a community of women looking out for each other. Every day I see women empowering others in different ways-it could be something as simple as: hey congratulations on your pregnancy! or Good luck TTC!"

"The people in this community is like one big family. We all help each other out with questions and concerns."

" The best is having a community of women who can openingly talk about personal issues and get recommendations from other women with experience. It's nice to know you're not the only one! Love ya Glow!"

"We find strength & support from Glow. We believe in miracles & the Glow community. We can’t wait to share the great news on Glow, when we receive our miracle!"

"I really love the community, I never had siblings to go to. But with community I don't have to be nervous about questions, especially since my question is usually already been asked. I look forward to continuing Glow, and learning new things everyday."

"Another thing I love about Glow is the community. These ladies are so supportive and they give great advice. I love seeing different view points and I love being able to find people who are experiencing or have experienced something that I am going though."

"The glow community is wonderful. It's just all females who might have the same curious questions as me and by taking the polls I could tell there are so many women who have the same opinion as me. I love reading all their stories and I also learn so much from them and I learn a lot from reading all the comments too. The <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android">glow app</a> feels like a Facebook for females and the same way I'm always on Facebook is the same way I'm always using the app."

"The Glow community is full of so many strong and amazing women that go through a struggle not many will understand."

" Most importantly, the Glow community helped me find answers to all my questions as I tried to navigate through this process, and connect with other same-sex couples TTC, as we have our own issues and complications on top of those struggling with infertility. It's been so helpful to know I'm not alone."

" Instead of thinking of it as the glow community, I started thinking it was my glow family. It helps me ask question that I normally would never ask, to see I am not the only woman going through certain situations."

"The Glow community helped me finalize my decision to switch to mirena by sharing their own experiences with it. I feel like I have a real support system of people who care when I talk to people in the Glow community."

" While I'm still not pregnant yet, I no longer feel like a failure because I have a community that accepts me."

"Glow community helped me to decided whether or not I wanted to keep my baby or not.... And of course I'm keeping my bundle of joy. I'm only 7wks but I can't wait to meet my blessing."

"The glow community is also very great and it brightens my day to know there are people like me somewhere. If glow was a person they'd be my best friend. Thank you glow. Happy Holidays from me to you!!

"And wait.. Wait. What's that?!? Is that a line?! I turned to the only place and only people I could trust! The Glow community!! I told them before I even told my husband!! I immediately got excited responces that made me feel so full of love and confidence that this was my baby!!"

"I find myself staying up late at night reading the comments and questions in the community."

"So thank you for glow and thank you for letting me not give up because without this community i probably would have..."
