This book club is open
to any woman seeking camaraderie with like-minded women for fun\,
self-empowerment and growth. Even if you haven't read the book\, but are
willing to talk about the principles in the book\, you can join us for a
lively discussion. March's book pick is The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse\: A Breakthrough Program for Connecting with Your Soul's Deepest Purpose by Debbie Ford. The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse is an invitation to dedicate 21 days to building a profound and
intimate relationship with your highest self. Within each us there
lives a hungry ghost that is always craving more\, whether it′s money\,
fame\, attention or material possessions. Our decisions and behaviors
are too often guided by this ego-driven force that clogs our hearts and
dominates our minds. If unchecked\, it grows stronger and starts
influencing all aspects of our lives. We get stuck in the past\, avoid
the present\, and feel discouraged about our future.
