Women who give to much

My friend and I were talking and she was telling me how she feels all worn out and that she isn't appreciated. After our discussion I did some research and learned that there are a lot of women out there who feel the same way. I couldn't really find a place for women to go that felt like they needed support, TLC and that they were not alone. I now have started WOMEN WHO GIVE TO MUCH groups and they are absolutely FREE to participate. The groups are small 4-6, and meet on all different days and times. It is a place where women can chat and express their feelings, and exchange numbers so they can contact each other if they want to between groups. We are a support for each other, thats all, but alot of times if we feel supported and heard, we can get through the rest of the day. Teh group only meets for 1 1/2 hours so as not to take up too much of our time. Women of all different races, ages and single, or married can attend. Leave the kids at home---- this is ME time and no kids, men or family members aloud. As women we give and give to others and forget about our selves, or we are last on our list and just never get to it because other things come up. As women we need to "put our selves on the list" we are just as important as the other folks we give too. I want us to decide who will be on OUR list, we make the choice, but we are always at the top. Many of you might think this is selfish, however, we have to be able to take care of ourselves first for a number of reasons: 1. IF we choose to take care of others, we need to be healthy both emotionally and physically to be able to do that, 2. If we choose not to take care of others at a certain time, we have to be ok with that and not feel guilty about saying yes to ourselves and 3. we only go around once in this life and we need to be able to enjoy ourselves and our life also.
So come and join us. Contact me at 734-678-1168 to find the right day and time for you to feel supported, and for ME time. Susan
