When engaging with women
through intimate conversation that often results from that famous Wendy
Williams questions, “How you doin’?” It is almost always answered with rounded
shoulders caused by a robust exhale. It’s almost always followed by a laundry
list of things on their plates and none of them involve self-care. I’m
surprised at the number of women (including myself) who either do not have the
time or resources or the time and resources for simple pleasures, such as:
- Bubble bath
- Pedicure
- Professional hair grooming
- Lunch during work day
- Dinner out with girlfriends
- A visit to see about a friend or family member in need
- Uninterrupted time for personal reading
Without a calendar event,
it is actually hard for a woman to set aside time for herself. Today after a
dialogue with a friend, I realized the need for the Women’s Well~Being Circle
is stronger than ever before. The Women’s Well~Being Circle is simply a place woman
could go to seek a little reward for all they give to their families, work,
spouses, parents, and the list goes on! This circle is a time set aside,
preferable once a month, where women would know in advance a date, time, and
location for an event scheduled to release daily stressors. Often these events
are fun activities with subtle educational information about mental and
physical health and financial wealth (financial literacy).
Past events included reflective
practices, book discussions, movie night (followed by group discussion on best
practices for daily work/life balances), spa trips, financial ad visor presentation,
and more. Some events include speakers while others are basically an
opportunity for women to share in a welcoming environment that enhances
relaxation. These events are usually free of charge or of little cost (price of
movie ticket or lunch).
Take some time to review
and familiarize yourself with our site. Review the upcoming events tab and add
them into your calendar. When you RSVP to an event, you will be sent the
additional details closer to the date.
Welcome to the improved
Women’s Well~Being Circle! A place for women to network and support one another's wellness.
