Is it just me or have you noticed that 2008 has been the fastest year ever with time just rushing by? And as we prepare for 2009 with enormous changes ahead of us including a new, smarter US President and an urgent search for ways to sort out the economic and environmental meltdown that an over-greedy society has created, I strongly believe we have an opportunity for a positive shift and new beginnings.

It is time for women to move forward into our full feminine power alongside men in the workplace, the home and the community, where we can make decisions that will nurture our loved ones, society and our planet.

For the last ten years through SEED, my books, Enterprise Programmes and public speaking, I have been advocating the feminine way and right-brain style of leadership. I am thrilled that at last it is being taken far more seriously, especially in the business community and media and I would like to thank all of you who have supported SEED and its ideals.

The SEED Community Website

2008 has seen the SEED community website grow into a vital extension of the main Seed network website. A social networking community of like-minded women who share their blogs, stories, businesses and events. If you haven't joined yet, click the link now and find out what you've been missing. I'd love to hear from you.

SEED CIRCLES

SEED Circles are springing up across the country, London, Kent, the Midlands, the West Country and East of England this year through our SEED Coaches and SEED members. We look forward to seeing new Circles blossom in Yorkshire, the North East and Scotland in 2009.
