Deciding to Matter

Dear Ones,

Generations of women have been taught and programmed to believe we don’t matter. The suicide rate for girls is getting younger and younger. No matter how many articles we write about it and how much therapy tries to address the root cause of the issue of irrelevance, it persists and insists. But not just in young girls. In most of the women we actually know, there is a deeply embedded framework of feeling like our voice is silenced, even and especially from ourselves.

This message came through early this morning and is for you. We are in a four day event with women and families from around the world so it is ever so important to share with you. This asked to be spoken. I listened. I hope I am speaking to someone who needs to hear it. I sure did.
