I love connecting with my sisters whether near or far. Here is a wonderful article today on the power and magic of women's circles. In my former spiritual group in NewMexico, we celebrated circles and groups for the women and for the men. Enjoy!

Women's Circles:

Women’s circles are formal or informal gatherings in the interest of bonding, sharing energy, and creating ritual. The origins of women’s circles are ancient, but their applications are as modern as the women who participate in them. There are no hard and fast rules as to how to form a women’s circle or how to run one. Some circles invent their own agendas, rituals, goals, and ceremonies, while others borrow ideas from sources as far-ranging as Buddhist or Native American cultures. Some circles are open to new members at all times, while others prefer to practice with a set number of members, closing the circle once that number is reached.

In a typical gathering, the women who are present sit in a circle. Generally, for the sake of cohesiveness, one woman is chosen to lead the circle each time. Allowing a different woman to lead each meeting allows for a multi-perspective approach to the process. One circle leader may choose to create and teach a ritual involving using the voice to release negative energy, while at the next meeting another leader may feel inspired to lead a silent meditation. On the other hand, a circle may choose to be more focused over the long term and gather around a particular intention, such as working together to determine a course for healing Mother Earth. When the healing feels complete, the women may choose to stay together with a new focus for their work, or the circle may disband.

At their best, women’s circles perfectly illustrate the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The work that can be accomplished within the loving embrace of our sisters is far more powerful than what we could achieve on our own. If you are not already part of a circle, you may want to start one. Follow your intuition as to the women with whom you’d like to work, reach out to them, and set a date to begin. After that, you can simply allow the circle to create itself. Men need not be forgotten when it comes to circles and they, too, can come together to form their own circles and create strong bonds and healing in a way that is specific to all men.

Dear God:

The lady reading this is beautiful,

Protect her at all times, lift her up

when she needs you the most,

And let her know when she walks

Love you Girls!!

One Flaw In Women


Women have strengths that amaze.



They bear hardships and they carry burdens,



but they hold happiness, love and joy.



They smile when they want to scream.



They sing when they want to cry.



They cry when they are happy



and laugh when they are nervous.



They fight for what they believe in.



They stand up to injustice.



They don't take "no" for an answer



when they believe there is a better solution.



They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.



They love unconditionally.



and cheer when their friends get awards.



They are happy when they hear about



a birth or a wedding



They grieve at the loss of a family member or friend,



yet they are strong when they



think there is no strength left.



They know that faith and love



can heal a broken heart.



Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.



They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you



to show how much they care about you.



The heart of a woman is what



makes the world keep turning.



They bring joy, hope and love.



They have compassion and ideas.



They give moral support to their



family and friends.



Women have vital things to say



and everything to give.



HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,



IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
