We inspire change. And we're ALL leaders, "from random acts of kindness to leading a nation" (from the WOW Credo). Remember Marianne Williamson's quote: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."Come shine with us. Celebrate your magnificence.Inspire others to raise the bar. Connect with like-minded powerful women.You are a Woman Of Worth. Set your soul on fire and Get WOWED. http://www.theWOWevent.com Do invite your friends to join you and please spread the word to every woman you know!“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.Begin it now.” (Goethe) You are powerful beyond measure.Best, Christine Awram | FounderWoman Of Worth WOW Events Inspiring the global empowerment of womenWOW is for Every Woman Because Every Woman ... is a Woman Of Worth http://www.theWOWevent.com>> AFRICA DANCE Rendez-Vous Saturday, May 29
