I don’t mean through cell phones, internet- facebook, linked in and the next and best gadget that is out there. I mean are you connected to yourself and what you value and what matters most to you. Connectedness is a feminine principle. It is about relationship and about living in the here and now. Traditionally, women have been the ones to hold the relationship and the importance of being connected. However, with the emphasis in our world on masculine values and standards, fewer and fewer women are holding the importance of the feminine values. We are losing something about what it means to be women.

If you think about it, few of us spend little time in the present moment. We are racing to be successful and have more but we are missing in having those things while having more life and more connection. We probably spend more time numbing ourselves down through food, alcohol, internet and trying to have it all. Moments go by and we can’t even remember what happened or we have forgotten how to truly experience a moment in a way that it makes a fulfilling.

I have learned a lot from Dr. Judith Wright and her books on the One Decision and Soft Addictions. She has challenged me through her various trainings, MORE life training and the Woman’s Essential about what it means to be a woman. It has brought me more to living in the moment and valuing what matters to me. I have created more meaning and connection in my life while being successful from using her skills.

As women, I find that we think of ourselves last yet they always tell you if a plane is going down, you need to put yours on first in order to help those around you. Even though we know that, we still don’t really live like that. I challenge you to consider would you give a weekend to yourself to really learn more about what it takes to have a fulfilling, meaningful life? Would you be willing to do what it takes?
