Our First Spring Event will be on 3-11-23 and is entitled Picture Me. This is going to be a
Vision Board Workshop. It will allow the members to recreate the lives they want to have
beyond the mask. When you start creating a vision for how you want your life to look, suddenly,
the right opportunity starts coming true sometimes you don’t even know these opportunities
exist, but the right opportunity starts coming true to make these visions possible.

Our Second Spring Event will be in May to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month. The
topic is Depression is More than just the Blues. In this session, we will define what
Depression is and the need to let go of The Superwoman’s cape because it’s holding us in
captivity and bondage. The problem with buying into the need to be Superwoman is that it is
just not sustainable. Instead of feeling good about all we do, we judge ourselves for falling
short. Our expectations of ourselves are completely unrealistic as is the amount of energy
needed to fulfill all our supernatural responsibilities. The problem with buying into the need to

some positive coping mechanisms so that we don’t feel overwhelmed and exhausted.

Our Summer Event will be in July entitled: Loving Me 4 Me. This will be a paint party for
tapping into the participant’s creative side. Since self-care and self-love are not the same, you
might practice self-care mentally, physically, and financially, but neglect yourself emotionally.
Do you know emotional neglect can lead to depression, anxiety, anger, and addictions? We see
a doctor when we feel sick or have pain, so why don’t we see a health professional when we
feel emotional pain like guilt, loss, or loneliness? The more you love yourself, the happier and
healthier you will be. You cannot give love to anyone if you don’t love yourself. You can’t give
what you don’t have, right? Self-care and self-love go hand in hand to help you realize your
needs and fulfill them.

Our Fall Event will be in September entitled, Pieces of Me, which in the past was the
signature event for Women Reaching Out. Piece of Me involved several women sharing their
story on how they were broken and have been made renewed. The idea for this event came
from Ledisi’s song, “Pieces of Me”. In the past, we have done a makeover on a woman who
have experienced life-changing events. This year one of the things that we are proposing to do
is have some of the women do a low impact dance and fitness activity, which will be done with
a motivational instructor who has twenty years of experience. In addition, some women model
clothing from a store or someone who is a clothes designer. It will be their time to shine. Their
family will be encouraged to attend this event to Celebrate their Success.

Our Winter Event for the 2023 Year will be in December entitled, Time of Reflection and
Renewal. It’s time to reflect on how we have grown physically, mentally and emotionally. What
areas of our life do we still need to work on in 2024? Identifying a Word that we can use in 2024
to help us MOVE…
