Inspirational Quote 
How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes! - Maya Angelou, African American poet 
Recommended Reading - A Woman's Worth by Marianne Williamson
 
This is essentially a feel-good book, meant to inspire and empower women to take control over their lives and help return the world to the feminine qualities from which it has strayed.
Greetings! 

Congratulations New Members & Welcome to Woman's Life SWFL! If you are not yet a member, you are receiving this email because another great woman thought you might be interested in joining this wonderfully inspiring group of women. 
 
If you are asking yourself - Who is Woman's Life SWFL? - Please Read On!
 
We are a local chapter of a nationwide organization dedicated to brining women together and give back to the community. We are a motivated group of positive women joining forces for a common purpose: to enjoy each others company, inspire each other into greatness and to make a difference in the lives of others. This group provides the perfect venue for you to meet other women that like you are interested in giving back to the community and making a positive impact in the lives of those less fortunate.    
 
Our main goal is to organize, promote and hold fundraising events throughout the year that will help raise money to support local non-profit organizations. All of the funds raised will be match (doubled) by the Women's Life National Organization. If you have ever had the desire to pay it forward or if you feel you want to add meaning and purpose to your life - this is the perfect group for you!
 
We recently had our first meeting at Stoney's Sports Cafe in Estero. The turnout was great and the energy was totally positive! Kim Carlson from All "U" Need Pest Control did a great job of heading the meeting and introducing the group to this wonderful opportunity. We each received a magazine and chapter membership application. Please contact Lilly at (239) 549-9669 for more information on how to join. 
 
If you missed the first meeting - don't worry there is more to come! We will be meeting once a month for lunch, dinner or happy hour. We will try to keep the meetings during the week in order to respect weekend family time and our busy schedules.  At each meeting we will decide the time, date and location of the next meeting by majority vote.
 
Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 22nd at 11:30 am -  Monica Garcia's house. She has generously offered to cook an authentic Mexican meal for us to enjoy. Please RSVP to her at mgsdesignz@gmail.com so she knows exactly how many people to cook for. Feel free to bring a positive and motivated woman as your guest if you think she might be interested in joining the group. 
 
Again - Welcome, Congratulations and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Positive Food for Thought
 
Healthy WomanOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
-- Marianne Williamson
