Because We Are Women

is an empowering experience that energizes, inspires, and supports personal growth, life achievement, and internal fulfillment.

OUR PURPOSE
The Purpose of BECAUSE WE ARE WOMEN© is to assemble women from all walks of life in a safe, encouraging, and comfortable environment that offers personal reflection, group interaction and inspiring stories. The outcome of this energizing forum is to identify a vision for the future, release negative forces and limitations, be inspired by other women to explore all the possibilities, find positive support and take a step closer to becoming the person they long to be.

OUR VISION AND POSSIBILITIES
The Vision of BECAUSE WE ARE WOMEN© is to

• Become a premier resource for women's personal success
• Empower women through national and local forums
• Produce a television program that reaches a broader audience to share the message.
• Provide on-line sharing and support
• Develop special interest groups for local meetings
• Establish a 501(C)3 charitable foundation to provide financial support through grants and special programs for psychological counseling, personal coaching and reeducation.
• Create a line of retail products, that reflect women's need for encouragement and independence, that would provide a source of revenue for the foundation.

2007 Facilitators who helped inspire you.

So many people inspire us when we least expect it. I remember listening to Marlo Thomas say, “I look forward to the day when we learn to truly celebrate other women’s successes.”                                    

What a thought, women celebrating success. We celebrate others’ success, but how often do we celebrate our own? Not just the big successes, but all those little ones that take place every day. We don’t view them as achievements. As women, many of us don’t give ourselves enough credit, think in positive ways, believe in possibility, or are just kind to ourselves.

We’ve always done amazing things. For centuries we ruled as queens, led armies into battle, and toppled empires. We fought for religious freedom, were immortalized for our philosophies, and were goddesses of mythology. We have won Nobel prizes, flown planes, cured diseases, and are responsible for the birth of every man on earth.

In the 1800’s it took tremendous courage to fight for the freedoms that allow us today to impact society as pioneers of causes, politicians, entertainers, athletes, journalists, medical professionals, business owners, and more. These achievements began with a belief in POSSIBILITY.

BECAUSE WE ARE WOMEN is my dream and possibility, to produce a forum to inspire, support and offer women the ability to explore many opportunities. My inspiration comes from many places, people, books, ideas and personal experiences. My goal is that these events expand awareness, create new friends,offer support and outline the steps to get closer to your dream. We come together to CELEBRATE POSSIBILITIES, create action plans, and look for those who can help us.

Each day we must honor ourselves for all our personal accomplishments, now and in the future. We learn to take risks to realize our dreams, and pave the road for those who follow behind us

Thank you for Celebrating all the Possibilities.
