Although many women joined me for the very first Women's Code Conference in California last March, and many others are continuing to discover online about our work on behalf of helping women find balance in their lives, I've got a great opportunity for anyone who's]]> http://beatechelette.com/the-womens-code-goes-on-the-road/feed 0 http://beatechelette.com/support-is-all-around http://beatechelette.com/support-is-all-around#comments Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:00:06 +0000 admin http://beatechelette.com/?p=2482 I Am Pondering About... Even though there are things I know we have no control over, I still get angry at our helplessness. Just as a quick recap for you, dear reader, a few weeks ago as I was sailing with good friends in the Caribbean, disconnected from the world, I finally decided to log]]> http://beatechelette.com/support-is-all-around/feed 0 http://beatechelette.com/of-friends-passing-and-lasting-friendship http://beatechelette.com/of-friends-passing-and-lasting-friendship#comments Sat, 17 Dec 2011 01:39:30 +0000 admin http://beatechelette.com/?p=2470 By Beate Chelette Today is the day to face up to responsibilities. Like any other day. Still, this one is different. I am sitting here in my living room waiting until it’s time to go to Louella’s service. I was on vacation in the British Virgin Islands when I received a note from Melissa that]]> http://beatechelette.com/of-friends-passing-and-lasting-friendship/feed 7 http://beatechelette.com/a-mother%e2%80%99s-wish http://beatechelette.com/a-mother%e2%80%99s-wish#comments Sat, 12 Nov 2011 13:00:25 +0000 admin http://beatechelette.com/?p=2292 I realize this is a recurring theme with me lately: to accept or not the situation that life puts us in, especially given the travails of my friends Melissa and her mother, who's fighting a losing battle with cancer and wishes the best for her daughter.

Last week I heard that a dear friend's husband, drummer Paulo Mattioli, has passed away. He died of brain cancer. This comes on top of Melissa’s mom, whose situation I have been writing to you about.

The 25 women who have accepted my personal invitation to be part of this launch are making their way through the course material each and every week. One thing I'd like to talk about here is the concept of forgiveness.

I got several texts from Melissa, a 16-year old teenager I've taken under my wing. The texts said: "She has 2 days."

It has been heartbreaking to watch. You may remember Melissa (not her real name to protect her identity) attended The Women’s Code Conference .
