A Special Message To Women

0

I am grateful. I am angry. I am excited. Gratitude, I know, it's one of those self-help guru keywords. To me gratitude isn't so much an exercise in becoming artificially modest even thought it is attribute that I do not posses. Gratitude to me is about being aware of what you have in your life versus running after stuff we don't have. Sure I would like the business to move faster, get bigger, have The Women's Code become the movement I envision it as and train offices like crazy. But during the quiet time of the season and especially on a day like today it is important for us to reflect. … [Read more...]

Today's contribution is about the importance to schedule meetings with yourself and how to boost your productivity and well-being. by guest blogger Chris Sequeira The modern workday is a busy and highly social workday. We find our calendars packed with group meetings, sometimes from the moment we show up at work until the moment we leave. Sometimes, those meetings exist on our calendars because we scheduled them with other people. Group meetings serve many purposes, of course. Even though today's working professionals have a wide range of electronic communication tools at their … [Read more...]

By Beate Chelette I'll be taking my code to Texas. 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 going to be in or around Austin, Texas, in early January. I'm speaking at the fabulous Wizard Academy, that teaching institution for all things wonderful and insightful and counterintuitive that Roy H. Williams founded. Roy himself teaches enlightening courses on … [Read more...]

Support Is All Around

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 on when we were near a wifi hotspot. The Facebook app on my iPad had a message that said, "Call me when you can." The message came from Melissa, the young woman I've written about over the last year. And it was the message that I had feared getting while I was vacationing. Before responding to … [Read more...]

Of Friends Passing and Lasting Friendship

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 said, “Call me when you get this.” I knew immediately what had happened, and before calling Melissa, I checked her mother's — my friend's — Facebook page. She had passed away peacefully. She died peacefully, but she is no longer here. And she leaves behind a daughter whom, as many of you … [Read more...]

Making Better Choices

As I am writing this I can’t help but I am shaking my head. Just today I found out from Melissa during lunch that her father had cancer after they separated and her mom let him live in her house and helped him through. Not quite what is happening the other way around at this moment. I spent a delightful lunch hour with Melissa and I proudly report that she is starting to turn the corner. For the very first time I heard her tell me that someone offered her drugs and instead of being upset of not being able to say no this time it was different. Melissa had gone on a YMCA trip for 10 days and … [Read more...]

What’s going on with Melissa?

0

Even as I write this I have to take a deep breath and sadness overcomes me. It has been heartbreaking to watch. You may remember Melissa (not her real name to protect her identity) attended The Women’s Code Conference . She stole the hearts of the audience by candidly sharing what was going on in her life. Her mother is losing her 5th bout with cancer and her family is torn apart by a divorce. Her father has moved on to a new relationship and his soon to be ex-wife a terminally ill woman of 3 daughters ages 11, 14 and 16 has to figure this out on her on. Melissa is angry, sad and sometimes … [Read more...]
