Spring is almost here; a time for new growth, new beginnings. This is a time when creativity stirs within us. Can we bring forth our own growth and the expression of it and live our destiny? This weekend we will set our clocks forward. Will we set our lives forward?Ă‚Â
Remembering your destiny is so much more than simply recalling some ephemeral past memories. It is actually returning to, and rediscovering your whole self. It is a full realization of your extraordinary place in the tapestry of life.Ă‚Â
In order to live a fully expressed and alive life, it is essential to stretch beyond your normal comfort zone. Take some time to explore your inner self. Let yourself have the freedom to imagine new possibilities in the areas of career, finances, fitness, well-being, friendship and love. Say “yes” to new opportunities and practice being fascinated with your own answers to these questions.
- What innate talents do I possess:
- What are my greatest gifts?
- What do I enjoy doing so much that I lose track of time while I’m doing it?
- What are the guiding principles of my life – what is my polestar?
- What do I love the most about life?
This year it is a time for restoring the “feminine” in us all and for emerging leadership for women. Take a moment to gain the powerful and on-going support of other women on the journey towards becoming themselves and join us in The Essential Feminine Companyâ„¢ “Living Room” for an hour’s conversation on “Inviting The New, The Different and The Good Into Our Lives” which will take place on March 24, at noon PST. This is a free event which will happen on the fourth Wednesday of the month, with a new topic each month.  You will need to register for this month’s event at https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/448858688Ă‚Â
I hope to see you there.

Among the natural attributes of women are collaboration and team building. (And, we hold many more.) Our ability to use these gifs has been recognized by such groups as CARE, Heifer International and The Hunger Project. (See notes below.) These groups have invested their resources and total faith in women to rebuild their communities as they know that women will use their opportunities to feed their families and strengthen their communities.
Relationship building, networking and community building are some of women’s finest gifts. Therefore, The Essential Feminine Company™ is opening its “Living Room” as a place for women to get together once a month to share ideas and suggestions about various topics. This is a free event happening at noon (Pacific Time) on March 24 and continuing on the fourth Wednesday of the months following. You will need to register for the event at https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/448858688
We will begin our Living Room discussion with the topic, “Inviting The New, The Different and The Good Into Our Lives”. After the initial theme has been presented we will be opening the lines for announcements, wishes, desires, and general networking. Please contact us at info@theessentialfeminine.com if you have something you would like to share during the second half hour. We need at least forty-eight hours prior to each Living Room event for your comment or need to be considered.
We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to join women from around the globe and help us create a community of women who want to create their lives from their true selves and thus make a difference.

Note: Yesterday (March 8) “was International Women’s Day celebrating the progress women have made in their struggles for equality and development and also focusing on what remains to be done to ensure there is equality for all. The theme this year is “Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities: Progress for All.””
Note from The Hunger Project:  “(THP) firmly believes that empowering women to be key change agents is an essential element to achieving the end of hunger and poverty. Wherever we work, our programs aim to support women, build their capacity and ensure their voice is heard and influence felt, both in their own communities and more widely.” To read more: http://www.thp.org/learn_more/publications/newsletters/february_2010
Note from Heifer International: Women Working Wonders; Since they received goats from Heifer, the members of Zambia’s Evergreen Women’s Club have been able to provide life-saving milk for their children, grow valuable crops to support their families and help their neighbors support themselves. To read more: http://www.heifer.org/site/c.edJRKQNiFiG/b.201594/?msource=kwg538
