Sharing Sisterhood Across the Globe

Sister to Sister is a place to renew for women of all cultures, faiths and races. Coretta Scott King said, "Women, if the soul of the Nation is to be saved, I believe we must become its soul." I would like to add "Earth" instead of "Nation." We need to widen the borders and challenge the world to become a better place. Join the conversation.

Healing the Healers ...

Over the years, I have been to many, many workshops and retreats for women. By going, my heart longed to find the answers that would make my life more fulfilling—would help me to stop making the same mistakes—would aid in my growth and well-being—make me happier, more prosperous, more adventurous—you each know what I’m talking about. So, it was especially interesting to think that I might have something to offer to women myself. And that is when I knew.

What I’ve learned is that we all have a piece of the puzzle. And that piece of the puzzle is within each of us. We must therefore glean from each other in order to find the pieces to our life’s puzzle so that we can heal. From our healing comes the healing of the planet. Make no mistake, we are the healers of our time. But, we’ve been damaged. Until we find our healing, the world will continue on its course. This is not to put all of the world’s problems on our shoulders, however. It is to put the world inside our heart where it will be safe. We can only do that when we heal. And when we heal, we will mirror for the world what it can become.

The Heal the Healer Project is about finding our heart strength. Love does conquer fear—that paralyzing fear that thwarts our attempts at real life. The paralyzing fear that many of us cover up—it shows up in other ways. How? We have diabetes, heart disease, and are overweight. We are anxious and frustrated and we sometimes take it out on our kids, spouses, friends, strangers—ourselves. We buy and buy and stay busier and busier. We are not truly happy or satisfied. How do I know? I’m complaining, too. I know.

So, what are we going to do about it? Well, the Heal the Healer project is about finding out. Utilizing the skills of professionals and each other (professionals in our own rights), we will develop this program throughout the year. At the end of the year, we will analyze what works, what doesn’t, and where we go from here.

What are we going to do about your stress? Time will tell as we meet, share and grow. Join us. It is your choice. But, it is a good choice, too. By participating in the Heal the Healer project (something we build together), I'm hoping that you'll share with one another your experiences, rituals, and heart-saving techniques. We'll find ourselves as we help other women find themselves. Won’t you add a piece to the puzzle? Contact me for more information at 713-522-9849. Peace.
