Women Celebrating Women – Happy International Women’s Day!

Hey it’s Leigh Ann Betts for What’s Up Wednesday. And what’s up today that I found out in my news feed this morning is that it’s International Women’s Day. So, I actually just got back from a beautiful weekend retreat, I would call it, with my soul siestas. We went down to the Sedona Desert and we met and created circle together of women in the beautiful energy of Sedona.

Ironically enough, I just got back late last night and then this morning I find out its International Women’s Day. So I just wanted to say to you, soul sista, Happy Women’s Day and I’m really glad you’re joining me today.

Basically, when I went away with my girlfriends, it was just so nourishing and really, it was a place where we could totally expand into our hearts and get out of our heads. What I loved about it was we were able to share stories, our own stories together. We were able to be vulnerable. Talk about what we’re scared of, or what we fear. It was just a safe and supportive place where we could be together and talk about our hopes and dreams. Being out in nature. And joining in circle.

 I wanted to join in circle with you today. And, I found out through one of my dear friends who’s actually holding a meditation tonight at 7, that there’s this amazing organization called the Global Sisterhood.org. What they are doing today, for our special day, is they are doing a synchronized meditation at 7pm local time. Whatever your local time is, at 7pm. So if you get an opportunity to gather with some of your tribe, some of your women at 7pm, you can join in and its global meditation.

I’m going to do that tonight, too. I’m super excited because I’ve got this beautiful energy that I’m coming home in with gathering with my friends.

The other thing, too, is to take this opportunity today to call up your girlfriend, your soul sista, and maybe plan a get together. And it might not be going down to the desert. But maybe it’s a weekend getaway where you can be in supportive circle together and have that nourishing time. It’s so amazing when we take the time to do that.

And if you can’t get people together tonight at 7pm, join us energetically at 7pm. There are some beautiful videos they have done, this Global sisterhood. I’ve posted a few on my Leigh Ann Betts Facebook page. Take a look at them. They are amazing. There’s a pledge we can take as women, to help in this healing of forgiveness and being in compassion, and uniting women together and stepping into our power. Which is super exciting. That’s what my work is all about as well. And obviously I’ve been on this journey of my own, of stepping into my own power. So let’s do it together.

There is a pledge at globalsisterhood.org. Join in tonight at 7pm. Let’s join in energetically. Let’s help this feminine rising that’s happening at this time. It is very exciting and unifying. We’ve already seen that happening in January when there was all the marches. Now, we’ve got this wonderful opportunity together, to gather again.

Call up that girlfriend. Make a plan to get together. Because we often say, oh yeah, we should do that. We should do that. And then we never do it, right? So get on the blower, make a plan, check out the flights, or wherever you are going to stay for the weekend and make it happen. Because it is super powerful and it’s super nourishing for us to be able to be in that supportive space with our friends.

Thanks for joining me and Happy International Women’s Day! Take care.
