Empowering women, through words and actions

I’m honored to speak at the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey’s Young Women’s Division brunch Wednesday morning, not only for the chance to tell my story, but to help others write their own.

Your ticket will buy a fabulous brunch, a chance to network with some amazing young minds. In addition, we welcome you to bring gently used items such as handbags and jewelry, which will be donated to Career Wardrobe, which helps women obtain clothing, career skills and the confidence necessary to transition to work.

I Loved this Movie!

In The Guilt Trip, Barbra Streisand poignantly depicts the yearning of 60 something women for meaningful relationships with their adult children.   She hits too close to home in illustrating how much personal power we willingly relinquish in the desperate hope of receiving even morsels of validation. 

 We are ready to go to any lengths to fill the void of our own lives when we seek definition solely from the lives of our children.  We learn that despite the difficulty, we must eventually move forward and nurture other relationships and seek other purpose. 

Did you see it?  What did you think?  #60something women.
