On Tuesday night I attended–compliments of my good friend Chris Cavanagh–the premier of the film, The Glow Project. Conceived by eWomenNetwork co-founder Saundra Yancey, the movie was created to inspire women to their greatness by featuring a dozen or so already successful and powerful women who tell their stories. Glow, according to Yancey, is found inside every woman. “There is a powerful essence inside of every woman—a critical ingredient that only women possess. When realized, nurtured and expanded, it becomes the key to true happiness and success” she explains.

The Glow Project movie is a part of a movement, one smart women everywhere can get on board with. It’s basic premise is to help another woman along the path, up the ladder, or into the film studio. Women are the backbones of all societies and we know how powerful women are when they have support and are connected.

We need connection it is how we are wired. And if we tap into our “Glow” factor, or inner passion and operate from there we are not only unstoppable but attractive in a way that others want to connect with us. 

There are some remarkable stories in Glow, some I’d love to have seen fleshed out a bit more, heard more of the nitty gritty of getting from A–a bad relationship or no money or no skills, to B–successful, powerful, rich. The wisdom the women share is compelling even not knowing all of the gory details.

I’d suggest getting a group of women together and find a local screening to attend as a group. The best part of the evening was getting to know some of the eWomenNetwork members who were also attending. And the discussions the movie prompted were all positive and motivating. Just what Saundra had in mind I suspect.

You can watch the trailer at the home page, at least do that. See if it resonates, and if so, you can find regional showings for the movie there too.

Has anyone else seen it?

Welcome to what’s been a long time in coming–the new look and new name for my blog and newsletter.

I’m thrilled to throw open the doors to what I hope will be your resource for up to the minute–as well as time tested and true–usable information to keep you fit or get you there, as well as healthy, sassy and sane at this starting gate to the second half.

What does Midlife with a Vengeance mean? It means we as a group have big things to do, places to go, and dreams to realize. We know how important health is at any age but especially at an age where the body needs more and different kinds of support. We don’t buy the conventional wisdom that says at “our age” certain things just happen–like prescription meds to keep our hearts ticking, weight gain, slowing down and such.

We are actively living each day, finding out what works for us individually and living there–not in anyone else’s idea of what we should be or do or dress like or act like. 

Our immortality may feel more real than ever and with this in mind, we choose to get moving. We, smart women all, choose taking care of our bodies and our minds. We choose now to make the changes we’ve been saying we want to make because if not now, when?

Just writing this excites me to make the most of my day. To get my sneakers on now so I don’t bail on exercise later. To write the wee card I promised I’d put in the mail to a friend with a new baby–brave soul she is at midlife, and more.

Why not take a minute and write how you feel today and what you want to move to the front burner?

Welcome, please come back often!

I’ll be posting links to other sites that have equally great information, some health oriented others on business, travel, money and more. Please post comments, ask questions, suggest others who you think compliment our community here.
