WGF Reviews

This is a much needed group -- the topics/subject matter needs to be discussed more in society -- women need to be loved, nurtured, encouraged, and worshipped. :) (Worshipped? yeah, why not.)

I am really looking for some motivation from other fellow women to make a better person of myself "

Just curious to see what this group is all about. Looking forward to meeting awesome people !

" This sounds like a much needed meetup group and definitely looking forward to the weekly conversations "

“I am a stay at home Mom with a 7 years old girl and a 1 year old boy. I want to meet other people and share great ideas that combine family, health, nutrition and business.... "

Hi...I am from Toronto Canada Just returned to the North...yes after spending the past 5 years in central america. Sounds like a perfect group to be in because I am going strongly ahead...and would like to be amongst others who have that determination.

" I would like to meet new people. Also because I feel women need other women when we feel lonely or need support from each other. "

"I am all for women supporting women. This is something that is not done not nearly as enough as men. "

I am a single mom w/2 children. I applaud all women who rise above their circumstances, who strive & stretch to maximize their potential. Best Wishes to all!

"I joined today! YAH! Let's do Powerful Stuff Ladies. NO MORE GLASS CIELING, JUST BLUE SKY! Meet a galore of successful women that won't lose their dream machine! Talk to you on the phone soon.”

I'm so glad to be part of this amazing circle of strong, intelligent women who are working towards balance, harmony and inner strength. It has been inspirational and motivating. I look forward to our sisterhood on Wednesdays. Until then, peace!

I am looking for support as a woman, I would like to find other women like me, but I have not been able to, perhaps, I could network with you ladies.

" How pleasant to have group meetings in pjs and no makeup! Looking forward to next week... "

Hi! I have a small business. Slow time now for everyone, so I have time to talk and to listen to others....Maybe I'll help someone, or maybe someone will help me......you never know. :o)

" Hi, I'm interested in meeting new people. I'm curious as to what this group is all about."

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am honored to join the group. As I said tonight, I have prayed for wonderful women to come into my life and I think it happened tonight. _____________________________________

Hi Becky, Great phone in yesterday. I just wanted to send you an email which I received regarding the documentary film I mentioned 'America The Beautiful'. Not sure if you will be in the Los Angeles area this weekend, but if so, I really recommend a viewing. If not, then I hope you get chance to view it in Florida soon. I really feel this film could have a strong impact on how we view the beauty industry, if it gets out to the masses. I am from England and I moved out to Los Angeles in Sept 2006. I really feel you are bombarded over here with weight loss advertising and constant pressure to be 'perfect'. I mean on the radio they talk about having lypo suction during your lunch break. This procedure is not only temporary but also very dangerous and those kinds of issues don't seem to be mentioned during the advertisement. Plus as you will know woman in general are always trying to control their weight in some form or the other, it is no wonder that eating disorders are becoming an epidemic. I am very passionate about this matter (for personal reasons) and I wish woman and men could see the beauty within, instead of placing impossible pressures on one and other to live up to these unrealistic images portrayed in the media. Okay I will end it here, as I have harped on enough. : ) Looking forward to the next phone in. All the Best and have a great weekend. _________________________________________

" I really enjoy the bonding between women and I always seek out more ways to do that! "

" Hello. I am always interested in the advancement of women and Women Going Forward supports that. "

" looking to meet other empowered women and to become more empowered to live the life of my dreams. to heal and learn. "

" I'm single, self employed & working on a PhD. Would be interested in learning this group's perspective on moving forward -- "

" I am married of 20 years with two girls. I love to talk about everything!! and always enjoy listening to advice of others. You can always use another's view. "

"I am interested in meeting other women. I'm on a fixed income and looking for ways to increase my income through a home based business. "

"I'm married with 3 children. I'm looking to de-stress and de-clutter my life and be renewed. "

---- " I'm looking to gain some insight on women's daily challenges and learn how others handle those challenges. "

" I'm working on my doctorate degree. Would love to meet some new people and talk. "

" I'm new to the area and love meeting interesting women. Looking forward to my first visit with you!"

Hi everyone, I am retired, and have been a widow for the last 3 years. I spend a lot of time on the computer, and enjoy learning about other people. I was lucky to have met Becky some years ago and admire all she stands for.

I am in the process of being newly single after 33 years of marriage. I am looking for moral support and information on how to get on with my life as a single woman in today's times.

We women can always use additional support. I feel this group will be great way to connect with others.

" I am a single mom, and it can be a challenge to get out of the house. This sounds like a great chance to connect with some empowering women. "

" Wonderful to be able to listen on the phone every Wednesday evening for empowering messages! "

"I really like the subject and information I learned and was shared. I felt that hearing others talk about their experiences, I wasn't alone and others have gone thru similar experiences I have."

Just wanted to thank you for the awesome information last night on the body image. It was a powerful call and I appreciate the web that I looked up at Cheryl's site. When you asked if anyone wanted to share at the end I knew I would never have time to share some of the experiences that I had as time was just about up and I wouldnt have had time. I think it would be nice if we could have a follow up call on this topic so that we could have some of the callers share some of their lifes experiences of some of the things that we have done via the approval of replacement father figures from growing up with unhealthy father figures. That is an area that I feel could tie in quite well with the body image, so maybe we could have a topic what some of us have done to seek our fathers approval and acceptance through men.

Thanks for what you are doing to start a new cycle of non abuse, I’m moving in that direction. __________________________________________

"Everyone was open, honest and sincere. Sharing their innermost thoughts and experiences. I valued it a lot. I am now moving forward at a slow pace. Soon I shall be running. I thank everyone for attending. It was enlightening." ___________________________________________

"Hi Becky! Glad I joined this group. Hopefully I can give to you all as much as I receive. Let me know how I can be of help. Much love and blessings to you all." _____________________________________________________________ Hello everyone, How pleasant to have group meetings in pjs and no makeup! _______________________________________________________________ Hi, I am struggling and want to move forward in my life. I feel lonely and need strength to know I can move on. I'm glad to be a part of this group. Thank you. __________________________________________________________ "I'm getting stronger every wednesday!" __________________________________________ Hi Becky! the call actually ended up really good....it was very interactive....as far as a topic for this week, a few people indicated an interest in you being the guest speaker...I think people would really like to hear more about you, and your books....if not this week maybe in the future??? ____________________________________________________ THANKS FOR BEING THERE THOUGH, IT WAS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO SIT AND LISTEN TO A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT WOMEN SHARE AND FEEL SAFE AND BE ENCOURGAGING, ALSO LOVED THE FACT THAT ONCE I HUNG UP I DIDNT HAVE TO BE TRAVELLLING ANYWHERE AND COULD JUST GET INTO THE SHOWER AND CARRY ON WITH WHAT I HAD TO DO IN THE HOUSE, AND STILL HAVE THE BENEFIT OF HAVING SUPPORTIVE WOMEN THAT I CAN CONNECT WITH, ITS A GREAT CONCEPT. __________________________________________________ I tapped into the conference call the other day, didn’t talk, muted it and found it very very good. I listened to melody speak about the domestic violence topic for this coming wednesday and that was really funny how i just tapped in now. I have been in domestic violence and had to move out, I have gone through some phase 1 and phase 2 domestic violence workshops and am still struggling with seeing my self worth, so I look forward to connecting on Wednesday again and maybe this time I will talk. ______________________________________________ "Nice to talk to people from all states." ______________________________________________ Becky, When we share our own personal experiences it makes me feel not so alone, as sometimes that’s where some of my self hatred comes from by beating on myself. When I hear some of the women share, I realized that they had the same issues as I. The topic and info was great, I just think an added touch would be to have more time for sharing in and around what we have gone through as well. I realize that there was no time last night, but could we somehow fit that in, the next few weeks, I think it could be healing for all of us. _________________________________________ Hi Becky, Great topic last night! It is incredible how many women say that they don’t have friends or they don’t have very many female friends. It is really really sad to see how few females there are that will go to bat for each other. I am amazed at how brainwashed some women have become to what they are supposed to act like, think like, speak like, look like all in the name of what? It is so nice to be apart of Women Going Forward where women are truly friends and want the best for each other. Thank you so much! ____________________________________________ "Seems like a good group of strong, determined women." HI, I'm looking to connect with other women who need female empowerment. _______________________________________________________ "It matches my needs prefectly." _________________________________________________________ Becky, I was so happy when I heard about your telephone women’s meetings. I will tread slowly and will share only when I feel led as I have been betrayed deeply and the wound still hasn’t healed but let me tell you I am like a child on roller skates now I am just relearning how to get up and roll along again in the area of women. That is why I was so exited when I saw this on the net, although like I said I am proceeding with great caution. I eventually want to do some speaking for women and men, this has got to stop, we need female support and women have to learn to love themselves first and each other in supportive healthy ways, or the world of abuse will continue, I am choosing to be a pioneer in being one that counts to help break that cycle of women turning on women and turning to the men, its nuts nuts nuts and I hear that come out of soooooooooooooo many women’s mouths it’s sad. So here’s hoping that we can start a new cycle of women trusting each other and bonding with each other in healthy ways, that is what my goal is and I chose to believe that I will eventually leave this planet knowing what it is like to have a best friend. ____________________________________________

I love love love
the wednesday nights , although I dont know all of you
it feels sooooooooooooo good to have women WHO
UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!! I have grown like a rocket since
being on line, Thank you so much.

Steve Kovacs was an outstanding guest on Women Going Forward! In fact, Steve Kovacs book, "Protect Yourself: The Simple Keys Women Need to be Safe and Secure" is a must have for all women. It is easy to read and understand, and it is so informative that I purchased a copy for every member of Women Going Forward! Thank you Steve Kovacs! You are AWESOME!

That was great last night I thoroughly enjoyed Steve Kovacs tips. Thanks so much for having him on line.

Its amazing how when we give others
insight how much it helps us to see how far we have
come ourselves. funny how that works. I am so
grateful for you starting this up.

Thank you for the opportunity of allowing me to talk to your group and thanks for your courtesy and ALSO don't let me forget about you purchasing books for your listeners--thank you for that too.. Thanks for it all!!!!! Let me also say--you guys are doing a great thing and if I can ever help you guys, don't hesitate to call..

Becky, this is a wonderful thing you're doing! I'm so looking forward to listening in tomorrow. I've read your information over and over. I'm trying hard to get back to the happy go lucky, community involved, self-driven person I use to be. I struggle DAILY. I can't wait to rebuild myself again for me and more importantly for my children. Thanks again for doing this. I look forward to listening in.

"I did call in last night. I listened as I was walking on the treadmill. Let me tell you, I had the best workout in weeks listening and walking. The time flew by and by the end of the call, I realized I did 6.7 miles. I really enjoyed the call and definitely learned something new. I really liked the personal commandments."

"My heart broke every time I heard Angie speak. There was something in her voice where I could somehow share in her pain. I felt as though she was talking for me at times and I could see myself in her too."

"Good information was shared I defintely picked up some tips and for that I am grateful"

I just joined your group this week and think its a great
idea. Thank you so much for starting this. I know life can

Just wanted to thank you for the awesome

we could have a topic what some of us have done to
seek our fathers approval and acceptance through men.

Thanks for what you are doing to start a new cycle of non abuse, I’m moving in that direction.

"Hi Becky! Glad I joined this group. Hopefully I can give to you all as much as I receive. Let me know how I can be of help. Much love and blessings to you all."

Hi, I am struggling and want to move forward in my life. I feel lonely and need strength to know I can move on. I'm glad to be a part of this group. Thank you.

Hi Becky! the call actually ended up really good....it was very interactive....as far as a topic for this week, a few people indicated an interest in you being the guest speaker...I think people would really like to hear more about you, and your books....if not this week maybe in the future???

THANKS FOR BEING THERE THOUGH, IT WAS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO SIT AND LISTEN TO A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT WOMEN SHARE AND FEEL SAFE AND BE ENCOURGAGING, ALSO LOVED THE FACT THAT ONCE I HUNG UP I DIDNT HAVE TO BE TRAVELLLING ANYWHERE AND COULD JUST GET INTO THE SHOWER AND CARRY ON WITH WHAT I HAD TO DO IN THE HOUSE, AND STILL HAVE THE BENEFIT OF HAVING SUPPORTIVE WOMEN THAT I CAN CONNECT WITH, ITS A GREAT CONCEPT.

I tapped into the conference call the other day, didn’t talk, muted it and found it very very good. I listened to melody speak about the domestic violence topic for this coming Wednesday and that was really funny how i just tapped in now. I have been in domestic violence and had to move out, I have gone through some phase 1 and phase 2 domestic violence workshops and am still struggling with seeing my self worth, so I look forward to connecting on Wednesday again and maybe this time I will talk.

... It's nice that Nicole felt great after the call. You are doing a great service to women--especially some who need help now. I wish you the best in this new approach.

Thanks for all your support and hard work
at getting the women going forward together, it has
changed my life in so many ways in such a short period
of time, I am so grateful for you and the women on
the call.

I found you all so inspiring and enjoyed our conversation. We all shared some personal thoughts and that translates into caring about our sisters. We are all sisters and in this thing called "life" together. I pray for each and every one of you going through health issues, marital discord, male problems, etc. We can all reach out and give one another a verbal "I think you are terrific". We can then turn that statement around and point it directly at ourselves. I want to start 2008 with a renewed attitude and make fewer bad decisions.

I went onto your site today for the first time and I think it is great. I would like to join you ladies on a Wednesday. I need a bit of encouragement on a few things I want to further accomplish in my life. I to have come from a difficult and lonely family lifestyle and find it hard to make myself happy. I am not a negative person or like to be around those who are negative. I look forward to joining you all and thank you for this sit.

Yes, it is freaky how close some of our
experiences have been, What I am finding is that I am
starting to love my womanhood a day at a time, since
we have connected and I get a chance to hear others
stories and share mine, I cant say that at this point
that I wouldn’t be afraid to see you all face to face,
but on the phone It makes it safe and non threatening
for me as I heal. I’m sure that if we ever meet face
to face, Ill be healed enough I wont have to feel
ashamed. I feel like a worm that is crawling out of
this shell to become a butterfly, its sometimes a
painful process and at times I feel like going back
into my shell, but the shell is cracked open by
sharing so therefore the worm has to keep crawling
out, there’s no going back nor would I want to. I
sometimes wonder who is on line that might know me
that is why I never say my name, nor do I feel
comfortable with it, maybe some day I will, right now
that isn’t important for me and I’m glad that that
freedom is there on the phone line.

I sat in for the first time tonight on your group discussion and it was great!!! Larry was very insightful and I felt great after listening. I am in a really tough place right now and I am going through some things in my marriage. I have no one to really talk to and I have been getting more and more depressed about it as time goes on. So, tonight I decided to give your group a try and the time was well spent.

First off I would like to Thank you for my cute tank top and wonderful books I am not a reader but I cant wait to read yours.

I like the write up that Melody wrote, I too have been in abusive relationships and am still struggling with the existing marriage that I am in.

Anyway, my self esteem has taken a kicking and I feel like I need to listen
to how others got themselves back up, so I will join you on Wednesday. Thanks ever so much for keeping touch on a regular basis.

Becky, this is a wonderful thing you're doing! I'm so looking forward to listening in tomorrow. I've read your information over and over. I'm been divorced over a year now and I still find myself "stuck." I'm working on a few areas, but still trying to take two steps forward and not allow my ex-husband to knock me 20 steps backwards with the same mental abuse I dealt with in our (several) years of marriage. We have beautiful children and I'm trying hard to get back to the happy go lucky, community involved, self-driven person I use to be. I struggle DAILY. I can't wait to rebuild myself again for me and more importantly for my children. Thanks again for doing this. I look forward to listening in.

When we share our own personal
experiences it makes me feel not so alone, as
sometimes that’s where some of my self hatred comes
from by beating on myself. When I hear
some of the women share, I realized that they had the same
issues as I. The topic and info was great, I just think an added touch
would be to have more time for sharing in and around
what we have gone through as well. I realize that
there was no time last night, but could we somehow fit
that in, the next few weeks, I think it could be
healing for all of us.

It is incredible how many women say that they don’t have friends or they don’t have very many female friends. It is really really sad to see how few females there are that will go to bat for each other.

So here’s hoping that we can start a new cycle of women trusting each other and bonding with each other in healthy ways, that is what my goal is and I chose to believe that I will eventually leave this planet knowing what it is like to have a best friend.

I just joined your group this week and think its a great
idea. Thank you so much for starting this. I know life can

Thank you for the opportunity to work with you both Friday. You are amazing women and you have an important story to tell. I was humbled to hear of your respective trials and tribulations and how you each have more than overcome the odds. You deserve whatever wonderful things are in store for you!

Its amazing how when we give others
insight how much it helps us to see how far we have
come ourselves. funny how that works. I am so
grateful for you starting this up.

I am new on your group “Women going forward". Thank you for opening this group.

I had a great time on the call last night. Thank you SO MUCH for buying a few copies of my book - I am so touched!

Hi there: good tips, I am famousfor starting something and then not finishing it and doing something else then returning to what I started and doing the first thing without completing the second thing no wonder I feel overwhelmed. Thanks for the tips. Great topic last night very helpful.

I was on the call last night. Thank you for the suggestions you gave about the relationship with our fathers. I related to what you said about having father figures in our lives and how we can "father" ourselves, which I hadn't given much thought to...but I will, now.

I enjoyed your story about your mentor/father figure and the boots! I just re-connected with someone who is somewhat of a father figure to me last week!_________________________________________

Hi Becky,
I was drawn to your Meet-Up because of the positive, forward
moving attitude. I phoned in on Wednesday for the Time
Management/Setting Goals forum. Great Specifics. I enjoyed
the personalization and detailed discussion.

___________________________________________________

Question. Have I missed or have you addressed the "after math"
stage of having just jumped (from the abuser/environment). Do
you discuss the how's in re-capturing one's severed soul and
psyche while trying to survive financially?

___________________________________________

I hope to regain my strength and be in a place to reach out to other women as you are doing...

Thanks Becky for the info. I like to have the book so I can read in nature and will go by Barnes and Noble and get a copy.

I hope all is well with you and continue to be an inspiring and stong woman....

____________________________________________

Congratulations a thousand times over. What a great review. You deserve everything and more. What a gal you are. Your friend, Larry

I think the biggest motivation for women is to help other women, especially through crisis. Remembering to take care of ourselves is one of the hardest things to remember because we do worry about everyone else. The thing is, sometimes to get out of the hole your in, you need a couple hands to help you up. I have a lot of respect in what you do and like the positive atmosphere you create. If there is more I can do let me know.

“ So sorry I had to miss this one. I was so looking forward to the topic. Looking forward to next week. ”

Becky and Melody were great, really inspiring and empowering. Becky has such a lovely bubbly personality and Melody is very calming, which was a great combination. I enjoyed the stories and listening to other callers comments. Can't wait for next Wednesday. Thanks Ladies. : )

Interesting listing of red flags for friendships - can be applied to other relationships too.

“ I liked the topic and I think the one set up for next week will be good as well. ”

“I needed a change of communication with someone who understands my struggles so here I am to join. I've never seen a group like this before so I am giving it a try I have nothing to lose except gain new friends or support.”

Thank you, Becky, for a great talk yesterday!! I'm glad I called in yesterday to hear it. The topic on pampering ME and my environment was a huge eye opener. THANK YOU for the intention behind the efforts of this group. You don't know how many women need this!!! Sometimes we don't even have a place to go and learn about these things. Thank you.

“I would love to meet woman who are looking to improve their lives and for added support in my own life.”
