Moxy Women Find Your Voice

Monday, October 26th, 2009

That is the theme of Jean Harper and Dr. Nancy O’Reilly and many more women throughout the world. The network of women discovering how powerful they can be is growing minute-by-minute. It’s exciting and inspiring.

Watch Jean’s new Moxy Women Movie and find inspiration from the women featured there and the images and music that can make your heart soar.

Then listen to the interview Dr. Nancy did with Jean last June. Jean talks about how her sister’s life and death inspired her to turn her business, “Women Taking Care of Business,” into a force for women everywhere. The image that looks so much like Elizabeth Taylor on the beginning of the movie is Jean’s beautiful sister.

If you find a kernel of truth about yourself in anything you see and hear here, listen. Personally, I’m very lucky that I have always been encouraged to follow my dream. Yet, I have two quotes above this screen where these words appear: “Practice what you want to be.” Dr. Nancy O’Reilly; “When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” Lao Tzu. I realize that am the author of my own limitations. And I must practice to be more than I perceive as possible.

I hope you find the movie inspiring. And you increase your own personal power and that of other women you meet.

We All “WIN” When We Recognize Our Achievements.

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Unless your head is buried in the sand, you probably know that women lag way behind men when it comes to being recognized in sports. In school, it’s an understatement to say that most of the funding goes to the high attendance sports played by the men. Girls not only have to compete against one another in sports, they have to compete against our society’s tradition of tucking them away in some sort of passive, secondary role. Boys are encouraged to play sports to teach them teamwork, striving for perfection, make them healthy and fit and give them a sense of achievement. Why should it be any different for girls?

Okay, that’s totally my opinion. I invite you to argue with me…please. I’d like for you to win that argument. Show me it ain’t so. My mind can be changed, but I need some evidence. I admit it’s great to see movies about female major league teams of by-gone days and how much heart and soul they put into the game. But I’d prefer to see “reality” TV on Sunday afternoon of real sports heroines competing today instead of actresses portraying unrecognized women sports legends from decades ago.

I’ll get off my soap box and get to the point. There’s a terrific area organization dedicated to recognizing women in sports and their achievements. It’s called “WIN,” Women Intersport Network. (See Dr. Nancy’s blog from Sept. 9.). Next Wednesday is their 4th annual Awards Banquet to celebrate the foremost leaders in women sports in Springfield, Missouri. These award-winners are women who have lived their passion, become exceptional role models and blazed the trail for women’s sports in this community.

Dr. Nancy is going to give the keynote address. It’s a subject that she’s very passionate about. So it is guaranteed to be an inspirational evening and well-worth attending.  Check out the WIN website for more information about the organization and the banquet.  If you don’t have an organization like it in your community, maybe it’s time to get organized. The only way women can shine is if we turn on the lights. We need to celebrate and encourage one another to succeed in all areas of life.  That’s how we turn all women into winners.
