Let's Get Gutsy and Get Going. Together.

We’re creating a movement. That’s right, you and I. Sounds like a Big Hairy, Audacious Goal (BHAG), huh? Well, it is…and it isn’t.

A movement is defined as “the act or process of moving people or things from one place or position to another.” Pretty simple. Just move. Just one little step and we’ve created movement.

O.K. there is one other thing. I believe the movement must be forward in motion, or moving toward something, or the best…being pulled toward vs. pushed away.

I’ve been feeling pulled toward creating and supporting women leaders in our world. We need more. More political power to change legislation, more economic power to finance helping human beings be able to live in a manner that serves their basic needs and includes respect, honor and love, and more space to be able to fully take care of ourselves while we are creating a movement.

Now, here’s the invite:

Be a part of creating the “Gutsy Women Win” movement. A movement where we get gutsy and:

• Rediscover (discover something forgotten or ignored again) who we are;

• Redefine (define again or differently) what we must make real during our lives;

• Reclaim (retrieve or recover something previously lost) who we are; and

• Proclaim (announce officially or publicly) what we are doing.

• Oh yes! and Celebrate (publicly acknowledge a significant event with a social gathering or enjoyable activity) what we have done.

Our hope is that through the connections you make, the support you receive and the inspiration you find in others and give to others, you make your visions a reality.

Let’s get gutsy and get going. Together.

A call to action: Tell us below what you are being pulled to do.
