Last night I attended the For You Network Holiday Extravaganza. The spirit of Christmas could be felt through the room -- not because of the beautiful Christmas lights and decorations but because of the wonderful women in attendance. The For You Network is known as the network with heart and the organization prides itself on encouraging connections from the inside out. I have witnessed these women coming together not only in times of joy but also in great sorrow. Even during this holliday event the women paused for a few moments of silence to honor and remember the women who served in the network and had passed away.

While I enjoy being part of For You, I love being the director of the Moreno Valley chapter. If anyone at the event last night demonstrated the ability to make a heart connection, it was those women. They ooze with kindness, compasssion and know how to have fun. The silent auction provided entertainment throughout the night as I fought for my prize....amongst with my friends in Moreno Valley!

There is power when women come together, heck, just when people come together, to support a common cause. The extravaganza was different this year but it wasn't because the format changed. Rather, it was different because of the the dynamic women who were there to celebrate each other and demonstrate the power of Moreno Valley!
