These three powerful women share their wisdom and beliefs in this fast-paced video. Their concepts are exciting and uplifting.

WOW Pick for April 2012  | INVENTING THE REST OF OUR LIVES – Women in Second Adulthood Suzanne
Braun Levine
is a writer, the first editor of MS Magazine and authority on the
lives of women. Last
summer I picked up her book, “Inventing the Rest of Our Lives”, and could not
put it down! It
is full of women’s personal stories, scientific research and advice on entering
into the second half of our lives. Like
Suzanne herself this book is funny, intelligent and encourages us to create our
own unique path. The
first chapter starts out with a poem by W.H. Auden “Leap Before You
Look”

Somebody's Hero by Jamie O'Neal This song by Australian born singer, Jamie O'Neal, touched my heart the first time I heard it. Initially it reminded me of my Mom long gone to join the angels. Then it reminded me a little of myself. We are ALL Somebody's Hero. When I saw the video, it reminded me of ALL the WOW Gals in the world who are indeed Somebody's Hero. So many have gone through trials and tribulations, raised families, taken care of their elderly parents. Yes, so many woman have and / or will experience caring and being cared for by someone who just does what they do out of love. Someone who's only dare devil feat has been getting up each morning, facing life's challenges and fearlessly risking to love. If you do nothing else while you are here, I ask you to take 3 plus minutes and watch this video, listening to the words with your heart. During it simply think about the many times you have been Somebody's Hero and about the women in your life who have been one in your life. Follow this with a thank yourself for allowing them to love your and to them for loving you and others unconditionally. Yes, I realize they are not with you right now, at least not physically. However, trust that in this moment they too will feel something in their heart and when they do, it will leave them with a smile on their face. Almost like when the bell rang and Clarence got his Angel wings in the movie It's a Wonderful Life. | WOW Pick for March 2012 |
WOW Pick for February 2012  | What would YOU Do if YOU were visited by ANGELS? Whether you believe in Angels or are just toying with the idea, this
book will answer many of our ever-present questions. Within A Mirroring Discovery with Angel Visitation, we can gain truly
amazing insight. |
Martina McBride Sings...I'm Gonna Love You Through It The very first time I heard this song I cried. Like many of you I have lost a loved one to cancer so it really hit home. In the lyrics, It not only gives you a glimpse of the harsh realities of this disease, it gives you hope. This is even more emphasized in the interview which is highlighted by many well known and not so well known ladies who to date have beat the odds and continue to appreciate those who were their support system as well as "Love Others Through It". I hope you will watch this video with an open heart. If you have or have had cancer I pray it brings you hope. If you haven't been touched by cancer yourself in any way I pray you remain so. However I hope Martina McBride's song, I'm Gonna Love You Through it, will ignite your desire to "Love or Someone Through It" if it ever crosses your path. I have included the video I mentioned as well as the one with the lyrics in case you wanted to read them as you listened. I hope that you share this song with anyone who needs to feel better about and / or have more faith in the Power of Love. |

How to Work Like a Cat by Karen Wormald Walking With Confidence Through a Dog-Eat-Dog World In most jobs, you're expected to work like a dog-show boundless enthusiasm for any dull and pointless task you're assigned; act thrilled with any meager reward that's tossed your way; play nice with other dogs; and never question the leader of the pack. For your own sanity, you need to wise up and end this ridiculous canine charade. Cats have it all figured out. They live by their own rules. They refuse to be ignored. They're self-assured and serene. This humorous book helps readers learn to work like a cat instead of a dog, urging readers to break free of the leash and leap up the workplace ladder. "We loved this book, it contains funny insights to the workaday life and how 'working like a cat' can help you cope. I opened the book to the 'Hairballs are not meant to be kept inside' page and laughed out loud. This would make a great gift for any cat lover or just someone who works in the corporate world. It makes you think about whether you, 'work like a cat' or 'work like a dog'. This would make a great stocking stuffer!" C. Roberts (New Hampshire) Beware Cat Lovers...Say It With Cats offers uniquely beautiful and inspiring publications from the people of Willow Creek Press. Yes, they even have a 2012 Calendar to go with this book! Other Calendars available are What Cats Teach Us 2012 Calendar, What Kittens Teach Us 2012 Calendar and Why Cats Do That 2012 Calendar just to name a few. | WOW Pick for November 2011  2012 Calendars

WOW Pick for October 2011 10 Mindful Minutes  | We all know how important it is to experience mindfulness. Yet with all the new electronic gadgets it is fast becoming a thing of the past. We eat, drink, put on make up, text, and talk when all we should be focusing on is driving. With this example and the "busy"ness of our lives it is becoming more and more evident that children seldom if ever get to sit "still " without something in their hands or a screen in front of them. For the last 10 years Goldie Hawn, being more than just a pretty face or movie star, has made it her mission to change this.
The mission of Her Hawn Foundation is to equip children with the social and emotional skills they need to navigate the challenges of the contemporary world in order to lead smarter, healthier, and happier lives.The Hawn Foundation seeks to help transform children's lives by providing them with opportunities to acquire vital social and emotional skills, to improve academic performance, enhance the quality of their lives, and help others in their community. We support research studies conducted by university associated social scientists and neuroscientists and develop evidence-based educational programs for children, such as MindUP™, using cutting-edge scientific research on the brain and social emotional learning. The Hawn Foundation is committed to helping children lead confident, happy, and successful lives. We also assist educators to create supportive learning and social environments that effectively address children’s mental and physical wellbeing while nurturing the growth of creative, reflective habits of mind In her new book, Goldie Hawn present elements of the MindUP program that parents can use in daily life with kids. Hawn explain that mindfulness helps children develop social and emotional intelligence, resulting in greater self-awareness, less stress, and higher levels of happiness and empathy. Hawn explains how to help children use mindful breathing and focused attention to become more reflective and self aware to gain greater emotional control. In "Reflections" throughout the text, Hawn looks back on her own childhood and shares her personal experiences as a mother and grandmother. Goldie Hawn's gentle, heartfelt approach to mothering and her mission to help children develop happier, healthier lives will be both useful and inspiring for parents. |
It was my first WOW experience with commissioning Gloria’s gifts of connecting with Angels.
Later, I had her do my Personal Guardian Angel. Again, she knew little about my personal life experiences or me feeling like I was older and wiser than my parents, that I always felt like I had an imaginary parent who I trusted for guidance more than any of my earthly adults. Any surprise that this Angel’s name was Parentalena? (Bottom) On looking back, I have felt my angel's presence at my side and surround me with a soft, invisible shield on more than one occasion. I have commissioned 8 more for family and loved ones, even for my Spirit-to-Earth-to-Spirit Beloved Cat, Sammy. My angel is in the background of him and his angel, Karall and he certainly cared for ALL! (Top). Wowel, my Mom's Angel shows Parentalena and my siblings Angels peeking out behind my Mom's Angel. (Middle) How does Gloria do this? She explains this in the video above. It is no mistake that she has been chosen as The Angel Messenger. I can attest that the portraits actually evolve as you do, that is how magical they are. Read the many testimonials on her website and decide for yourself, if you are ready to receive tangible proof that Your Guardian Angel(s) are with you every day. | WOW Pick September 2011     |
WOW Pick for August 2011
 | Simply a Woman of Faith by Pat Hastings
Within the pages of Pat Hastings' book “Simply a Woman of Faith" one feels comforted by her miraculous trust displayed and rewarded at every twist and turn. She so openly shares her own personal inspiration to encourage and send a reinforcing spark to our individual belief system. Simply a Woman of Faith beautifully displays how divine guidance is constantly working within our daily lives. - WOW Gal Gloria Messenger, author of A Mirroring Discovery with Angel Visitation. Pat Hastings book surprised me with some of the unusual places she "finds God"--yard sales, consignment stores. Some stories just blew me away with the power of asking for Divine Guidance and receiving it. I found myself more open to the ways that the Divine might speak to me in daily life--listening for, and finding, that still small voice in inner promptings and wonderful synchronicities. I've bought several copies for people on my Christmas list and have already started giving them as gifts to friends. This is the kind of book that begs to be shared with friends and family members. Lisa C. Tener "Book Coach" Pat Hastings is a gifted spiritual teacher and highly skilled in leading people inward on a journey toward self acceptance, self-love, forgiveness, healing and freedom.

Miche Bags...The Answer to Many Women's Prayers
WOW Pick For June 2011 Change the Outside NOT the Inside of YOUR Purse!!!
| I have been waiting for this product all my Life! The reason women are raving
about the Miche Bag is the cool interchangeable shells the bag has. The frustration of whatever you need being in your "other" purse at home stops here. I gave up changing purses years ago because, frankly, it was too much work! Having purses of different shapes, sizes some with pockets and some without meant things never fit the same. Sometimes I would go through 2 or more changes before going back to my original purse defeated once again. The Miche purse is a stylish bag that takes the hassle out of figuring out which bag to wear! Many women love the fact that you do not have to empty out the contents of the purse you simply change the outer shell. The fact that the shells are so compact they really save room in both your closest and your suitcase. No longer do need multiple handbags to match each outfit you just start collecting more shells. The best thing about it is it saves you tons of money not having to purchase multiple expensive designer bags. Bottom line the Miche bag will save you time and money. Do you know a Miche Distributor? Cindy Custers and Jo Ann Mattei are two ladies who LOVE helping women be creative while saving time & energy one purse in almost a lifetime . |
Real Moments by Barbara De Angelis Real Moments by Barbara De Angelis is one of my favorite books to read when I am getting too caught up in the past or future. I love that it is a quick read that I can enjoy over and over again.
In "Real Moments, Barbara De Angelis defines happiness not as an acquisition, but as a skill--the skill of capturing every moment and living it completely. With insight, wisdom, and vision, she teaches us how to rediscover real moments with our mates and our children, with our work and our play, in sex and intimacy, and real moments with ourselves. It is an examination of our relationship with the process of living itself, offering inspiration as well as practical tools for creating more of one of the most precious moments of all--moments of true meaning in our lives. I love her plane story. It is worth the read alone. You will definitely identify with this and the many times where something that seemed annoying and in your face was what you needed most to recognize in yourself. You can find this book in the Spirit Category of our Shop For Empowerment area. Celebrate YOUR Real Moments Today and Everyday! | WOW Pick For May 2011  |
WOW Pick for April 2011 | I Didn't Know My Own Strength by Whitney Houston describes the undeniable survivor skills of OUR Featured WOW Gals. One can only discover their own true inner strength when they've totally reached the bottom & feel there is nothing left in life for them to go on living for. When those times last for a long time you believe you'll never come through them, but that is when you discover how strong your own spirit is. You know you have to fight back because if you don't, you'll never come out that never ending tunnel. Life is a gift & it's only when you've been to the bottom that you realize how precious it is. LaFarfalla246 When I listened to the words I couldn't help but think about how much Whitney has lived this song and come out better for it. Her journey hasn't been an easy one and it is her expression of this struggle to recognize the inner strength she only needed to tap into to break from a destructive relationship to become empowered again.

THIS SONG BELONGS TO WHITNEY HOUSTON AND HER RECORD COMPANY Visit her website: http://www.whitneyhouston.com/
Soar Above it All by Sue London (August WOW Gal)
WOW! I read this book in less than 24 hours. I couldn't put it down because it reflected much of my own journey. I too had a deep connection with a loving pet I believed to be an Angel brought to me to overcome a very difficult time in my life. I believe that ALL accidents, illness and disease comes into
our lives as a Wake Up Call to do things differently, A Way
Out of a Job or Relationship that we are having a hard time letting go
of, or The Way “Home” or to Exit (Die) this Earth Form. Having said that, I highly recommend, Sue London’s book, Soar Above it All, to anyone who needs to be inspired, empowered and even healed by example. | WOW Pick For March 2011  |
Sue takes us through her process of overcoming her fears of being alone, letting go, losing control and even facing death. Throughout this process she develops a faith and understanding of how everything is truly perfect in hind sight, yes, even the hard times.She becomes proactive in changing her life and focus in order to live a healthier, Crohns- free existence.
Sue’s story inspires me and others to fearlessly move forward through life no matter what the obstacles and to follow your intuition which never steers you wrong. “It ain’t over till its over, so to speak.” I have since passed this book on to a good friend who was recently diagnosed with Crohns Disease in hope that she will be encouraged or something better. By Carolyn Shannon, Women of Worth Magazine
WOW Pick For February 2011  | WOW Gal Photo by Theresa Nemac Fawver This amazing photo which was part of the Facebook Photo Contest truly represents Our Perception of A WOW Gal! It reflects the silhouette of a woman who is on the go, resourceful, adventuresome, and empowered by choice. She has the wisdom to seek protection (represented by the umbrella) when necessary. The cheery, almost buttery yellow sunset is breathtaking and promises bright days ahead in spite of the dark clouds life sends us. This fun photo caught our attention the minute we saw it so we searched
out Theresa to ask if we might review it here. We hope you like it as
much as we did. |
Theresa Nemac Fawver of Stratford, Connecticut is a self taught artist and a relative latecomer to
Photography. She became interested in Digital Photography in 2008 when she got her
first Digital Camera. What started as a hobby has blossomed into a love of
photography that has helped her discover and share with others the beauty and
depth of what surrounds us. We live in such an incredibly rich and visually
interesting world. Theresa feels that photography makes me a more thoughtful
observer—seeing things she might otherwise miss.
The Sky is Green and The Grass is Blue by Deb Scott “Wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone!”
There were so many things I loved about this book – from the author’s infectious positive and fun-to-read style to the catchy title – a title that starts the reader off on a journey to discover what the author has in mind.. A Book that makes you truly feel alive!!! | WOW Pick For January 2011  |
, I thought, and subsequently wrote down, the following: on Amazon today.
WOW Pick For December 2010  | Art from the Heart Adventures by Carolyn Shannon Chocked full of amazing pearls of wisdom and written in bold, large printing with full color illustrations, this book discards the usual page design format and creates its own unique presentation. Vaguely reminiscent of Sark’s wildly individualistic approach, Carolyn even turns the text into artwork. |
An obvious personal reflection, Art from the Heart Adventures uses colored reproductions and analysis of Carolyn’s actual art experiences to explain the concept and technique. Self-therapy is evident within the ‘heartworks’, the writing, the whole context of the book, opening an intimate exchange between the reader and author. It’s fun to look at, interesting to read and easy to understand.
