WOMENS FORUM , SUNDAY, MARCH 15- 12:30 TO 1:30 P.M. - CANCELED

3/5/2020

 
***Please note your calendars: our meetings have changed to the March 15th and 29th THIS MONTH! 12:30-1:30 p.m. ***
 
TOPIC: "When is Enough, ENOUGH? Wants vs. Needs"
 
"To live content with small means; 
To seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; 
To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich;
To listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages with an open heart;
To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry, never.
To let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common, 
This is to be my symphony. "   by William Henry Channing.
 
ASSIGNMENT:
A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) that are generated by our actions.
​
The average carbon footprint for a person in the United States is 16 tons, one of the highest rates in the world. Globally, the average is closer to 4 tons. To have the best chance of avoiding a 2℃ rise in global temperatures, the average global carbon footprint per year needs to drop under 2 tons by 2050.
Lowering individual carbon footprints from 16 tons to 2 tons doesn’t happen overnight! By making small changes to our actions, like eating less meat, taking less connecting flights and line drying our clothes, we can start making a big difference.

Women's Forum Sunday, February 23, 2020

2/21/2020

 
The Sunday womens' group is meeting this Sunday, February 23, from 12:15-1:30 p.m. upstairs in Founder's House. Topic: Resilience in an Unpredictable World, with focus on our roles as women and society. From Katie Mack: I am suggesting a very short podcast to start us off: Rick Hanson, "Building Resilience Muscles". I accessed it through You Tube. Dr. Hanson gives an introduction to the cognitive  aspects of developing resilience,and the "intramuscular muscles" we can strengthen. 

Here as well is a reading: https://www.success.com/rohn-7-traits-of-the-most-resilient-people/
​

I'd like to suggest the following sequence: 

1. Introductions and check-in.
2. Review of some resilience strategies in the Pod cast and our own.
3. Being mindful of taking turns and not interrupting or offering advice without permission. 
4. And as always...Confidentiality: "What is said here, stays here."
​
This is a potluck Sunday, so fix your plate and join us!
