Greetings, Illuminating Women.
I do hope that you are staying well during this pandemic and that you are able to find time for reflection and new opportunities while deepening your personal and professional growth. Our hearts and prayers go out to those who have lost loved ones from COVID-19 and for those recovering from illness. I have missed seeing you face to face, receiving those amazing hugs, and special touches that so lift my heart and soul. Even though we are not able to meet in person, we are continuing to meet virtually twice a week with our Wednesday Coffee Break & Connect, and with Friday Lunch & Learn. We are also continuing to host our Girl's Night Out on the 3rd Friday of the month; check out our website for more details. Please keep an eye on our Illuminating Women, LLC FB page for all virtual events. If you do not use FB, please let us know and we will send you an email announcement.
In the meantime, please let me know if you have a need. We do not want any of our sisters to be alone or in pain. We are here to continue our mission to educate, encourage, and empower you through our connections and sisterhood. Now more than ever, we need to stay closely knitted together with the most comforting, warm, and loving blanket of our community. We care deeply about you and your well-being. Please reach out to me if you have any suggestions and or ideas of new ways you would like to see us connect.
We may be in for a longer haul on these methods for connecting and meeting. I am continuing to listen carefully to you while maintaining a string of valuable opportunities to grow and strengthen our mission. This can only be done with your participation and input. Together we can create a powerful net to hold, inspire, and uplift each other, which will launch us through this trying time so that we land squarely on our feet.
I will be making more announcements regarding the new date and process for our 2020 conference that was postponed after the membership has been informed. Illuminating Women Members can expect an email soon to update you on new pivots and shifts so that Illuminating Women will remain solvent; being leaders of the pack, I am excited for the visibility and outreach for our members in highlighting your passions, goods, services, and expertise. I am excited to be filling our Illuminating Women YouTube Channel with golden nuggets from our members to help us all keep moving forward. Please be sure to check out all the valuable and fun information there. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzzbBtn4UWa3tN4MUr7P_pw/videos
Thank you for your continued contributions and support of Illuminating Women – for adding beautiful significance and value to our community. I am so grateful to have you as a part of making magic happen through just being you - fueling others up with your love and kindness.
Blessings,
Jill

Ladies, I hope you can join us this Thursday for our virtual Happy Hour on Celebrating and Creating Art. I'm so excited to have two of our Illuminating Women Members who are artists, Anya Toomre and Jean Kercheval take this time to share with us some fun art activities to help us expand our vision and feed our souls. Historically when we go through huge worldwide changes, it is the artists that help us dive deeper to see, understand, and feel more. Grab your favorite beverage, paper, pen/pencil, and bring an art piece to share, and join us on Thursday, 6/4, at 4:00. Open your minds, allow color, designs, and new ideas to flood through enriching your total self. Put it in your schedule, and join us. I look forward to connecting, dreaming, sharing, and learning with you.

ILLUMINATING WOMEN CONFERENCE 2020
|
|
|
Dear, Illuminating Women 2020 Conference Attendees.
Out of an abundance of caution in consideration of current events, we are postponing this weekend's conference for Illuminating Women: Building Bridges for a Bolder and Braver Future on March 6-7, 2020. We came to this decision in consultation with the Illuminating Women Advisory Circle as we hear the news, see the widespread concern and witness so many other events being postponed and canceled. We have also received inquiries from concerned speakers, vendors, and attendees.
We realize that some of you may be concerned about attending a large gathering at this time and we want to honor that. We want this event to be a wonderful, enriching and safe space for women to learn and grow together. Please stay tuned as we continue to monitor the situation and consider the various options for a new date. We will also be working with our speakers on this. We anticipate rescheduling for some time this fall of 2020. We promise to keep you updated and share our new plans as soon as we have them!
If you can hold onto your ticket, there will be a special perk for those who do. More on this later. Please forgive us, we have so many moving parts to deal with in this moment.
Thank you,
Jill Nichols-Hicks
