Celebrate who You are – an amazing woman who touches the lives of others with your love. Be grateful for all of the women, and men, in your life who have supported, and guided and given you love. And reach out to other women who may be in need of your kindness and mentoring. One […]

The theme for this year’s Women’s History Month is “Choose to Challenge!” – which I find quite appropriate since this is a year when women are faced with choices that challenge almost every part of our lives.

A couple of months ago I had the greatest joyful time I’ve had in a long while. I flew west, into the desert and spent 3 days in a hotel with 1.000 women at the International Women’s Summit in Phoenix, Arizona (ok – a city in the desert). I listened with all my heart to […]
