As responsibilities pile on, having “me” time is important to one’s health. It helps to know you are not alone. Sisters and Friends Getaway on Martha’s Vineyard hosts women friends and strangers from around the country for a stress free no-agenda getaway. While there, sharing experiences of being black women in this society make friendships come fast and natural. Friendly cliques form and lead to discussions that promote ways to support and lift each other up.
Here are five benefits of any girlfriends’ getaway:
See yourself in others. When women come together in a relaxed atmosphere they share more and are often relieved to find others with similar challenges.
Physical Reaction According to a UCLA study, when women spend time with friends, hormonal changes occur from the bond of friendship and from being in a safe environment to share and de-stress.
Lifts Burdens. A gathering of women often evolves into significant testimonies resulting in releasing anxieties as sisterfriends listen, understand, and cheer them on.
Share Fix It Strategies. “What would you do?” is likely asked and answered more often by a female. In a comfortable setting, women offer ways to handle issues and won’t hold back in sharing advice on how to handle yours!
Take A Way. Reflecting on new approaches to challenges equips women with tools of inspiration when time away is over.
“Most of all girlfriends’ getaways are fun” states, Connie Portis host of Sisters & Friends Getaway. This all inclusive (excluding travel fare) getaway begins the Sunday following Labor Day at high season end making it the perfect time to catch sales and low cost housing rental (passed on in affordable rates for attendees). Brunch and dinner are included round robin fashion in the vintage houses women share offering the opportunity to meet sisterfriends from Seattle, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, New Jersey, Hartford and cities in between.
Oak Bluffs has great beachside walking paths, and the famous Inkwell Beach where African Americans still gather to savor Atlantic Ocean. The island's clean air is perfect for taking an historic walking tour, traveling by local bus or guided excursions to enjoy peace and serenity. During Sisters and Friends Getaway, activities include line dancing, book discussions, and uplifting impromptu workshops to round out the getaway. Grab a sister or friend (or come alone) for one or two week periods or as schedule permits.

As you look over your life and more than likely compare yourself to others
who share some commonality like age, culture or other do you speak
these words? I should have been further than this by now!
This is the wrong mindset. It is definitely not a success mindset and will sabotage your Authentic Breakthrough whether you’re a christian mom are in the category of christian women in business, christian women entrepreneurs, Author, Coach, Consultant, Speaker or other you must cultivate a positive mindset and let go of limiting beliefs.
Don’t continue to focus on woulda, coulda, shoulda beens… FOCUS on the right
here and right now manifestations. Yes! Death and life are in the POWER
of the tongue. As a man thinketh in his heart so is he. I set before
you death and life “choose life!” Focus on the positives. Focus on your
desired outcome. Focus on FAITH!! Focus on GOD!!
You see when you base your success on what you have accomplished based on time you are setting yourself up for self sabotage.
Your success is not based on your bank account, how many friends you have or
even how many customers or clients you have. You can’t even base it on
whether you own a house or have a husband.
Success must be defined by you and for we who are christians based on your walk with God.
We all have a purpose in this life and we live out our purposes.
To succeed according to another’s definition and miss your life calling is not success at all.
Change your focus and change your life!
I’d love to support you.
I invite you to join me for my EmpowerME One Day Online Event. – Go where

I recently hosted my first PowerUp Call and talked about Being a Happy Entrepreneur: SistaSense Solutions to Building a Better Business and Blog Online.
PowerUp Sessions are a new series of weekly Calls that I am hosting starting March 30th for women entrepreneurs who need that extra boost of direction and accountability required to work on the businesses and blogs each week.
Inside this call we will take a look at your current business, project plans and blog. If you are happy where you are right now wonderful! If you feel like you could use some direction... a boost... a power push I hope you listen in (smile).
To me being a Happy Entrepreneur means really loving what you do. Feeling accomplished and valued. Seeing progress.. growth in your business and customer base. Moving away from "paycheck to paycheck" or "this is good enough just to get by" to a place of abundance and wealth. It means actively participating in the lives of those you strive to provide for while living in your purpose.
Everybody is busy buzzing away each day working a 9 to 5 or working in their business, but you have to consistently work ON your business if you want your 'happy thoughts' to become 'happy realities'. Life is never going to give you enough time to work on what you REALLY want to, so you have to take it!
In the call replay above I take you on a 60 minute clarity journey in which I share some of my recommendations on how you can take the time to build your business and blog online.
What does being a happy entrepreneur mean to you? Post your comments and questions below plus join the SistaSense Circle to participate in our weekly PowerUp and ProBlogger calls so you can stay productive and see progress in your online business.
Meet one of the top burlesque babies in the business, Miss Essence Revealed. Smart, beautiful and on point, she'll be your guide through April's Sister's Under The Feathers blog. After you've enjoyed the essence of the wonderful, mysterious world of Black burlesque buy yourself something pretty!
