First Holiday Breakfast for my group Ladies Who Lift was great!

We had our first holiday. Real fast at Panera Bread. The grouo has grown fourfold and I couldn’t be not excited at how popular it’s become, since there was a definite need for it! And all it took was just asking women at the gym if they’d like to come to a monthly breakfast up the road at Panera Bread. Four at first, then six and now 14, well, I am completely blown away!

The women in this group are all positive and enjoy each other’s company so much. It was difficult to interrupt to start the gran bag, everyone wanted to just keep on talking together,

With the holiday gran bag, you had yo bring an$5 wrapped gift and pick a number from a bag, which I had created last night with index cards. And I even punched them with a snowflake hole puncher. My mom thought I was nuts to do this, but one of the ladies today said she would have loved picking that hole puncher as a gift from the grab bag!
The prizes were thoughtful, including a Starbucks gift card (ok, that was my contribution…) a handcrafted towel, lotions, candles, even a beautiful spoon rest which she really needed and was happy to get.

I think one of the r best things that comes from this group is the friendships that form that never would haveS. Everybody is so into their own world at the gym and it’s really nice to see conversations happening now where none were before: all it took was me to go on a campaign to see phone numbers and get an invitation platform like Evite.

One of the exciting things that happened at the party was that a lady wanted to invite us over to her house for a summer party. And you better believe they’re all invited to mine in the Spring!
