Over 15 years ago I began to facilitate women’s groups, and have continued to do so to this day.  The first group was named womenconnected, a simple name that seemed to capture the essence of what we all most wanted from our sessions together – a time to connect, a place to belong.  This book is my attempt to share what I’ve learned over the years about how women connect.  I wanted to offer to other women the time-tested group resources and practical suggestions  that would make it easy to start their own womenconnected groups.  I invite you to schedule an evening to explore the possibilities of a womenconnected group. You deserve it, and so do your friends.

There comes a time when you roll up your sleeves
and put yourself at the top of your commitment list.
