We have had some inquiries about the upcoming Significance event for the Business Women of Clay County. I just want to clarify  that this is NOT a vendor fair or Health Fair.  Significance started last December, as an evening set aside to honor, encourage and empower women. We want to honor all of the “wellness-oriented” businesses in clay county and hopefully recognize the significant role that all attendees play in the lives of others.

I have been speaking to women for over six years, and am now being invited into the corporate setting to mostly help with stress management. What I am seeing is epidemic. We are facing serious issues, degenerative diseases, emotional breakdowns, and just plain “burnout”, and the majority of these can be repaired, rectified and prevented through lifestyle choices and habits. We are a STRESSED out society.

Why do I feel passionate about this area? Well, it has to do with my own personal battles with this enemy.

Some who have heard my story over the past few years knew we were special needs parents. We knew what it was like to have on-going stressful issues that we felt powerless to change. We had joy and blessings, and many years of that “fight or flight” chemistry going on in our bodies. After losing our son, we also saw how very physical stress can become.

Women today are finding they are caught between caring for their elderly parents, their young children, or adult children with issues of their own. We are carrying the responsibility of keeping peace in the home, while also helping with the income, as the economy becomes more uncertain. Women are nurturers and we place so many others in our life above ourselves. I want to spend an evening sharing with these women how very important it is that they take care of themselves through all of this. Self-care is so key, for us to be around to care for others.

We will have some chair massage going on for those that really need a break, while the rest of us enjoy a brief message on life balance, dealing with stress, and awesome, uplifting encouragement. Each guest will have time to briefly spotlight who they are and what they represent to others, and then we can connect and enjoy valued relationships in our community.

The chocolate, hors d’ouevres and goodybags will help too.

So whether you want to

• get one ticket to just sit and bask in a relaxed evening, or
• promote your business by donating a gift basket for the raffle or goodybags or
• buy a table of 8 for your staff to get out together and learn,

come join us and become more empowered in your life balance and connections in the community!

Call 276-3116 to reserve a spot.
