Midlife Opportunity: Support Strong, Confident Women!

Reflecting today on how much more confident and stronger women can become as they age, with increased self awareness and clarity, I realized that this time of life also provides opportunities to reach out woman to woman.  There may be women in your everyday life, in your communities, state, nation, or world that could benefit immensely just by your presence.  Often it can be a simple thing such as listening deeply, acknowledging strengths and challenges, or simply letting another know that you are there. 

WildlyFreeWoman is committed to providing resources for you to become involved in the lives of other women who may need just what you have to offer - your strength, courage and wisdom - thus igniting their own.  In my mail yesterday ...

was a letter from Women for Women International which was founded in 1993.  This non-profit helps women in war torn regions rebuild their lives by providing financial and emotional support, job skills training, rights awareness and leadership education, and access to business skills, capital and markets.  Through the program women become CONFIDENT, INDEPENDENT AND PRODUCTIVE, as they embrace the importance of their roles in rebuilding their families, their communities, and ultimately their nations. This is NOT just giving women money or other aide that may be needed, but is an on going program towards self sufficiency and thriving! When I was in Bali last year for a Global Healing conference I had the privilege to be in a workshop with Lynn Twist (The Hunger Project & "The Soul of Money").  From her experience working globally with the challenge of hunger she found that it was not an economic problem, but one of empowerment for women.  She stated that once women were given opportunities and support the entire village/community would turn around and move into thriving, and out of hunger and poverty thinking. 

Until October 31st your donation to this organization is doubled dollar for dollar.  There is also an opportunity to sponsor a woman from the country of your choice for only $27/month.  This is not a passive sponsorship.  You will actually develop relationship with your "sister" and learn together the impact that a woman supporting another woman, in all that she can be, has.  I invite you to go to www.womenforwomen.org and explore.
