Sister,

This holiday season has kicked up a festival of emotions inside me.
I am so grateful to be sharing Christmas with my mom, her fiancé and his family, and my daughter.
I am also feeling a little somber, a bit sad, and a floating sense of loss this Christmas, being so aware of the shattering loss that the families in Newtown are experiencing.
And so aware of so many conflicts and violence all over the world.
And all I want to do is slow down.
Reflect.
And be grateful.

Grateful, grateful, grateful.
Grateful for my 7 a.m. S Factor class, and the hot bath I took afterwards.
For my 9th grader, who is home with a wild cold today.
For the pink candle on my desk.
For the spectacular gang of women who I get to work with every day.
Grateful for the way things quiet down in these weeks around the holidays.
And oh-so grateful for this glorious community of Sister Goddesses that we are.
This community of women is amazing.
I have witnessed Sister Goddesses stepping up in the most extraordinary ways on behalf of themselves, one another, and the world at large. I have seen Sister Goddesses creating foundations that support children with mental illness, bringing yoga into schools, starting orphanages, writing plays, creating dance troops, opening stores, standing for one another at difficult doctors visits, holding space for one another during divorces, weddings, funerals, childbirth, endlessly spring cleaning with each other, bragging with one another and standing for one another in countless amazing, glorious ways.

I am so grateful for you.
So grateful to have this community.
If you feel so inclined, please post a gratitude below for someone or something in your life that moves you deeply.
Or post a gratitude to another woman who has stood for you as you moved, one foot in front of the next, towards your desires, in this remarkable, astonishing, astounding community of Sisterhood.
Happy Holidays!

With so much love and pleasure,
Mama Gena

P.S. I have another huge gratitude—over 150 women sent my new video series to the special women in their lives, within 24 hours of its debut last week! That’s over 150 Sister Goddess Secret Santas and counting! I am beside myself with glee. If you want in on the merriment, check out all the details here.

P.P.S. I’d love to see you in NYC on January 26th for my latest intro event, I know you want me. I’m showing you exactly how a woman stands inside her eternal, irresistible power to attract. Fun, right?

This event already happened. Check out The Experience.
