1000 Women CAN Change the World

As We Give Thanks This Year – Let’s Reflect on Others

This past year has been challenging for a lot of us – but as we approach Thanksgiving and bustle of the upcoming holiday season, now is the time for us to reflect on all that we have to be grateful in our lives...

➢  The Beauty of fall leaves as float through the air…

➢  The Joy of a child’s smiling face… 

➢  The Love of family and friends…

➢  The Peace of mind knowing that you are doing your persona best…

➢  Anything else that warms your heart – makes you feel good about life and your being part of it. 

It’s our own abundant attitude that makes a difference in how we view life and its effect on us.  When we think in terms of what we in deed have in our lives rather than what we lack – we open ourselves to having more.  

An attitude of gratitude is our path to a more abundant life.

So as we sit down to our Thanksgiving feast, let’s give thanks for all the blessings that we have in our lives – but let’s remember to also give thanks each and every day for all the little things that make our lives more joyful, peaceful and loving. 

We all have so much to be truly grateful for!   

As we count our personal blessings, perhaps we can keep in mind those who may be less fortunate than we are.  One such group includes at-risk women who are survivors or victims of abuse and domestic violence. 

The mission of “1000 Women” is to inspire and empower women with useful, practical knowledge and skills.  We have created a series of audio information modules (podcasts or downloadable digital audio) and materials, including:

➢  ABCs of Life – Abundant attitude, Boundless belief & Consistent commitment

➢  The Dance of an Abusive Relationship 

➢  Living and Leading with Courage

➢  Designing Your Own Destiny and

➢  Many more to make a difference in the lives of at-risk women.

As part of our mission we are having a soft launch of our unique web portal at www.1000WomenCanChangeTheWorld.org/AAADVP.html .  

This website page is designed to provide a “Quick Escape” for anyone goes to the page to access the uplifting content.  For the safety of the user, this webpage is also designed so that no browser history is created.

Celebrating Our Own True Freedom

As we in the USA celebrate the 4^th of July as Independence Day – when the American colonials declared their independence from Britain more than 200 years ago – Let’s take a look at what true freedom can mean in our lives today.

 

Now is the time for us to declare our own personal independence!  To free ourselves from whatever it is that is holding us back from being all that we truly want to be… To break the ties that bind us to old habits that keep us from reaching our potential.

 

Let’s break free to rejoice in all that is right, good and positive in our lives – let’s cultivate an attitude of gratitude – being thankful for all little things that bring a smile to our lips, give a warm feeling or a feeling of relief. 

 

If we look, we can always find these bits of joy to focus on – feeling good through gratitude is our first step to true freedom.

 

Let’s let go off those thoughts and worries that drag us down – acknowledge them – take constructive action for a solution – then let them go!  Worry saps our energy – accomplishes nothing.  If it’s not within your power to change it, let it go!

 

Let’s steer our thoughts and ideas to those things that we can change – that we can affect directly.  Focus on solutions that you yourself can change.    Letting go of all the rest is our next step to true freedom.

 

Let’s focus on our strengths – our “can dos.”  When we take a close look, we really can do lot more than we often give our selves credit for.  Let’s take an inventory of our skills and accomplishments – quite a list – huh?

 

Let’s pat ourselves on the back and see how we can apply what we know to where we are now.  How do these skills and strengths provide solutions to move us forward?  How can we repurpose our skills? Expanding our horizons is our next step to true freedom.

 

Let’s take a good hard look at what is really important to us.  If money were no object, what would we be doing with our lives?  What can we do now to move ourselves closer to where we would truly like to be?

Let’s take at least some small – major it you can do it – action toward our true passion in life.  Moving toward our true passion is our next step to true freedom.

 

By taking these steps, we can all move that much closer to finding true freedom in our lives today.

 

Let’s celebrate our own true freedom today! 

Getting More by Giving Back

 do you feel when you have done a favor for someone expecting nothing in return?  Feels pretty good… doesn’t it? 

 

Think about how great is will feel when you do a “little something” for many women with very little effort on your part…

 

This “little something” is sharing your knowledge or expertise about something t hat you…

Ø      Do really well – often better and with more ease than others – such as making ends meet during these difficult times or balancing your work, home and family

Ø      Excel in professionally – such as persuading others to see your point of view or motivating others to produce more

Ø      Are proficient in – such as handling barrage of email effectively and efficiently or working with Excel spreadsheets so that it all balances out

Ø      Find brings you great satisfaction – such as tapping into your inner self to find the strength to conquer whatever comes your way

Ø      Do that you think will enhance the lives of other women.

 

“1000 Women” is looking for Mentors – women just like you who have “been there and done that” – learned the hard way.  We are asking that you share this experience to smooth the way for other women so that they don’t have to struggle quite so much.

 

To be a Mentor is really quite simple – all you need to do is to make a 30–45 minute digital audio recording relating your thoughts and ideas – basically laying out the “how to” – the main keys to doing what you do so well.

Don’t fret… making the recording is as simple as talking on the telephone (in the US) or into your computer (outside the US) – we provide you with the simple guidelines – both in a written outline and an audio recording (actually serves as an example).

 

 

“1000 Women” is now ready to launch its program for “at-risk” women – providing Audio Information Modules (AIM) to organizations that assist at-risk women – especially those who are survivors of domestic violence and abuse. 

 

We need your help in providing – rich, practical, useful content for our modules… 

 

We all have information to share – how we have coped, succeeded or excelled!

Here is a sample AIM that I created – “ABCs of Life – Attitude, Belief & Commitment”  at Download ABCs_of_Life_PC_WST_1-09  

Please email us here so that we have the rich content to enhance so many lives.
