A Woman's Joy Builds Resilience

Finding Our Power When We Feel Powerless

It’s easy to feel powerless in the face of the profound suffering in Japan and other places of strife around the world. But there is a powerful response that we women have been practicing for a lifetime. As life becomes more unpredictable, learning how to activate a state of  joy enables us to be resilient!  Joy is not a fluffy topic!

***********************************************************************************************************

After living five decades or more, we know what it is to rejoice, laugh, love, create, celebrate, and grieve, as women. We are bonded by our common heritage and privilege as women who have reached the most powerful time of our lives—our 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond.

We may look very different on the outside. Some of us wear business suits, others jeans, sundresses, or saris. Whether single, coupled, separated, divorced, or widowed, no matter which continent we inhabit, we are guardians of a priceless treasure—the capacity to love and to nurture, to facilitate and collaborate—to experience and share joy.

WHY DID I WRITE A BOOK FOR WOMEN ON JOY AFTER FIFTY?

Because  women 50+, who know HOW to activate a state of joy, in any circumstance, will be the midwives for the resilience of the human spirit in turbulent times–resilience for our own flourishing, as well as for our loved ones and our global family.

Let’s all make our joy a priority so we can be more patient, loving, kind, AND RESILIENT!

Love, Connie

On the Tragedy in Japan From Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh:

“As we contemplate the great number of people who have died in this tragedy, we may feel very strongly that we ourselves, in some part or manner, also have died.

The pain of one part of humankind is the pain of the whole of humankind. And the human species and the planet Earth are one body. What happens to one part of the body happens to the whole body.

An event such as this reminds us of the impermanent nature of our lives. It helps us remember that what’s most important is to love each other, to be there for each other, and to treasure each moment we have that we are alive. This is the best that we can do for those who have died: we can live in such a way that they continue, beautifully, in us.”
