Working Mums - working for all our daughters' futures

I've just spent 4 days working with an amazing circle of women - we call ourselves 'Women Weaving towards a contemporary Rite of Passage for Girls'. We are seven women - all working mothers with teenage daughters - who are designing and facilitating a program for 13-15 year old girls to aid them in the transition from young girl to young woman. Surely one of the hardest transitions in life! We ran our first pilot program for the Pathways Foundation last year and are now refining it before running another 2 programs in 2007.

I feel blessed to be part of this group of funny, passionate, and compassionate women and feel very 'filled up' after being with them all. I believe all working mums benefit from spending time with other good women who are willing to be real and share themselves honestly with each other - don't you?
