PEEC Presents: WOMEN LIVING FULLY…INVESTING IN OURSELVES
Oct. 24 – 27 2010
Imagine yourself nestled in beautiful, inspiring surroundings, your only goal to rest and indulge in self discovery. Imagine meeting like-minded women who come prepared to explore the same questions that run through your mind constantly… “Now What?” …“Who Am I?…
“How do I make the most of the life that is ahead of me?” “…What is it to be a true friend – to have a true friend?”…“What matters the most to me at this time in my life?”… “How can I make a difference in the world?”
PEEC (Pocono Environmental Education Center, Dingman’s Ferry, PA www.peec.org) is holding this, their first annual Women’s Retreat, and have invited inspiring authors, experts in their field and other speakers who will gather to explore all of those questions and more.
We all know that our lives and daily choices are best governed by ourmost deeply held values, beliefs and priorities. Yet there is much to distract and dilute even our best of intentions. This glorious three-day women’s retreat offers you the opportunity to reconnect with that which is most important to you and find new ways to live that are reflective of who you are and what your value.

What If We Were “PERFECT”
February 26, 2010
I recently read a book by Geneen Roth, Feeding the Hungry Heart. She is amazing and every person should read her. She speaks to the human condition regardless of the condition a human is in. She dares to suggest that we might consider that we are ENOUGH just the way we are. That if we accept where we have been, what we have accomplished or not, the insecurities we carry, what we weight, the mistakes we’ve made; all contribute to exactly where we are supposed to be and who we are supposed to be. By accepting our very flawed selves as ADEQUATE, we could possibly eliminate the ever-present whispering voice of anxiety. The voice that requires so much attention trying to figure out how to create something different from what we really are. MISTAKES and IMPERFECTIONS are abundant. But there isn’t one that doesn’t offer the opportunity to move ahead. If we worried less about what should have been, or how we should be different, we might just find the brain cells to be more content with all the amazing things we truly are. Imagine replacing the voice that says you are inadequate with the voice that says I AM ENOUGH!
