Dealing with Divorce? Surrond Yourself with Positive Women
Over the last week I attended four, yes FOUR, different community events for women, and all were FANTABULOUS!
The first and second events included a Women’s Meditation session and Dialogues with Women, a relationship workshop, both hosted by the lovely Sharon Maser Danaceau, Director of the Women’s School of Healing Arts & Sciences. Sharon is a warm person whose heart and soul are dedicated to empowering and nurturing women, and I am thrilled to have met her. If you would like to learn more about the wonderful things Sharon is doing for and with women, you may contact her at info@womenschool.org .
The third event I attended was BlogHer 08. If you aren’t familiar with BlogHer, you can find everything you need to know on their site. This event, as always, was GREAT! Picture at least 1,000 hip, energetic, excited women getting together for three days to connect, learn and celebrate! It was wonderful and I met some great women, whom I will introduce you to over the next few weeks. If you missed it, don’t despair, BlogHer is going on tour in the fall and may land in a city near you. For details, visit the BlogHer events calendar.
The fourth and final event I attended recently was the Bay Area Business Women News‘ Women WorkIt Event hosted by Debra Costner. It was an event filled with lively women coming together to network and support their fellow business women. It was a great night and made even better when I won one of the raffle prizes – YEAH!
“What do these events have to do with dealing with divorce?”, you ask. They are examples of the multitude of activities sponsored by and for women that can lift your spirits, make you feel surrounded by positive energy and help you move through your divorce. So, if you are feeling lonely, unsupported or uncertain of your future and would like to make new friends and business connections, take time today to find and select group activities that you can participate in over the weekend or next week that will introduce you to the women in your community. You’ll probably be surprised by how much fun you can have even if you are facing, in the midst of, or dealing with the end of your divorce.

I totally agree with you that in times of recovery from a tragedy like divorce, you really need to surround yourself with positivity to feel hope and optimism in life again.

I totally agree that women need to surround themselves with positive women. Too often I see people heading down the path of finding others who will join them in their quest for negativity.
I would have loved to gone to BlogHer, maybe next year.

I agree that it’s really helpful to have positive women around for support. I didn’t have any support at all for my second divorce and the result is I’ve been feeling hopeless and depressed for years. I’ve noticed that there’s a lot of support groups and sites popping up online for divorced and single women and that’s really helping me now. One of the best I’ve found so far is SingleSisterhood.com. Morgan Delaney is really helpful and empowering and I’m finally starting to feel a little more empowered myself after finding her site.
