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 [email protected] 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
Maureen, hello from Japan, I just discovered this blog and the global dialogue center. I have founded a small publishing company, Energy Doorways, at the foot of Mount Fuji, and I write and teach on a variety of topics, including women's health and spirituality. Please visit my bilingual website/blog if you have time. I am interested in sharing perspectives and perhaps joining the international dialogue. Warm wishes from the mountains - Catrien Ross.

I can't wait to see another beautiful blog come to life for women alike.
Because this is Spiritual Wellness Month, I am celebrating by supporting Women authors who have gone down the road to hell and have come back with help, healing, spiritual connection, love and inspiring stories to share.
My featured author is Evinda Lepins. She has a Fiction coming soon that tells a story quite similar to her own, from what she explains. http://chicklitpower.com/
It's nice to know that we can connect and strengthen each other in so many ways!
