A few weeks ago, I was blessed with a healing that is nothing short of miraculous. It has left me wondering ‘What am I supposed to do with this new lease on life?’ I decided to send away for some free Bible correspondence courses from Lamp and Light.WWOOM is a very grass roots, fledgling group. The most important thing to do is to take care of yourself, then try to pass the message along to at least 3 women each day.
There are many different ways people can be involved in the WWOOM project. Here are a few ideas:
Guest posts are welcome in any of the following formats:
Women can tweet their self-care message using text messaging or a computer. Messages with the hashtag #WWOOM automatically appear at http://WomenWOOM allowing others to easily find messages and respond with words of encouragement.
Men and women can also participate by responding to messages women post about their self-care with words of positive encouragement either by "Liking" a post on the blog, or anywhere they are found and tagging it #WWOOM to raise awareness of the importance of women caring for themselves.
A fourth way women can get involved is by either coming to, or hosting a public WWOOM party on the 8th of the month, and perhaps bringing an example of something they would like to share about the importance of women caring for themselves. If you are hosting an open public event, please comment on the blog about it , so it can be added to the WWOOM map and calendar.
Gentlemen are encouraged to assist women in their lives in caring for themselves. first (I pointed out to one man at Peterborough Square: Encouraging women in your life to care for themselves first is really a selfish act- if they are ill, they can't care for you!) Men are welcome to post about how they are encouraging women in their lives to care for themselves first, and encourage other men to do the same.
We want this to be helpful to all women everywhere. WWOOM is meant as a way of validating the importance of what we women are doing to care for ourselves, whether it is caring for our bodies and physical health, our spiritual health, or mental health and feeling of well being. It is also a validation of our own cultural knowledge about how women can care for themselves. Thanks to Google translate, writing is accepted in any language. Messages must be family friendly as it is an open blog.
If you would like assistance in participating in this project, I am more than willing to help either by phone, Skype, email or in person*.
Please let me know how I can help you.
Looking forward to helping you implement this important project,
