Welcome to Women Celebrating Life!

We’re so glad you found us!
 

I’m Paula Fellingham, founder, and I’m delighted to let you know that the mission of Women Celebrating Life is to show women 40 and older how to reinvigorate their lives as they explore new possibilities, discover new gifts, and connect with other women heart-to-heart through celebration, self-improvement and service.

We’re a sisterhood of women helping women experience deep joy and fulfillment, making this season the best time of our lives!

Women are so much alike, aren’t we? And we’ve all learned that now, in this season in our lives, we have a greater appreciation for what’s really important. We know that hips expand, chins double, and all sorts of body parts sag… but the journey getting here has taught us many valuable life lessons and deep inside we know (in spite of what others might think) that in many ways we’re better than we’ve ever been.

Women Celebrating Life stand confidently, declaring that we’re not in a crisis, we’re in a quest – and we invite all women to join us and celebrate!

It’s time to celebrate! We belong to the largest generation ever! Fifty million American women – right now share the same memories of Sinatra, Elvis, the Beetles. Together we transitioned from typewriters to computers and from peddle-pushers to capris.

We share the same fears and very similar dreams. We’re the ones who worry about our children and aging parents at the same time. We wonder about Botox and social security checks. And we’re all shocked by how much time has gone by and how fast we’re aging.

Yes, we face this new period in our lives with a mix of wonderment and anxiety. The good news is: you don’t have to face it alone. There is a sisterhood for you called Women Celebrating Life.

Throughout our lives we experience turning points: moving; getting married; starting a new job. Some turning points are powerful in their effect on us, such as unexpected financial losses, accidents, or the deaths of our loved ones. On September 11, 2001 an entire nation experienced a dramatic turning point.

One of the beliefs of Women Celebrating Life is that we can create our own turning points. Yes, at this time in our lives we can choose to believe and act upon this: in spite of wrinkles, menopause and the heartache that comes with aging parents and empty nests, we can change our perspective on aging.

We can begin by looking through new eyes as we refuse to feel sorry for ourselves and instead, seek new possibilities. We can do whatever it takes to create a more fulfilling, joyful life. And thankfully, we can connect with other women who will help us navigate safely through the sometimes turbulent waters in this season of life.
 

Women Celebrating Life is a safe harbor of women who want you to be truly happy as you revel in fearless aging, and in spite of gravity’s pull enthusiastically embrace this time in your life.

More and more of us refuse to believe we’re “over the hill” ~ instead, we’re standing strong with outstretched arms on top of the hill, confidently excited about the limitless possibilities before us. Instead of asking, “What if?” we’re asking, “Why not?”

From attending skill-development classes to taking their lives in whole new directions, women 40 and older are awakening. Many are smack dab in the middle of an exciting, soul-fulfilling metamorphosis, and they’re happier than they’ve ever been in their lives.

We don’t feel old and we don’t actold! We’re energetic, engaged, and engaging, like we’ve always been. We’re just doing it a little slower in older bodies. But our minds are sharp, our souls are wise, and our hearts are soft.

Yes, we lose our smooth skin, good eyesight, strong muscles, and big chunks of our memory. But what we’ve gained is significantly more important. We’ve gained wisdom, empathy, perspective, and most importantly, an increased ability to love.

No, we can’t run as fast or jump as high, but we appreciate more and worry less. And we’ve learned that we just aren’t as concerned about what other people think; and that gives us freedom to do what we really want to do and go where we’ve always wanted to go.

You can sense it. You know you’re transitioning because you’re bolder than you’ve ever been. You’ve waded through life’s muck and now you’re more clear about what you want. Parts of your life that you’ve been tolerating for years have now become intolerable. You don’t know what lies ahead, but you’re ready to figure out what comes next.

Yes, of course we feel guilty about what we didn’t do and things we could’ve done better ~ we’re women and we all do it! We regret a bunch of decisions from our past and in quiet moments we anguish over things we can’t change now.

We even occasionally peek over our shoulders and wish for our youth again.

But most of us agree that we don’t want to go back and do it all again. What we want is to stand on the foundation of our experiences and hard-earned wisdom, take everything we’ve learned and everything we’ve become – and use it all to create a life that is deeply-fulfilled, purposeful, and overflowing with love and joy.

One 68 year old woman moaned, “I’ve made all the wrong turns, and too many mistakes. I think my big moment came and went. I’ve wasted a lot of time on the wrong things!”

Most of us are raised to believe that if we’re going to be highly successful at something, the foundation has to be in place well before the age of forty. Perhaps yesterday that was true, but it isn’t true today. Women are living 30 and 40 years past their retirement age!!

The fact is that your first forty years of experiences - the good, the bad, and the ugly - are all essential for creating your new dreams. It’s true! You’re wiser today than you’ve ever been because you know what does and doesn’t work for you!

The truth is, nothing is wasted. Everything that’s happened in your life has been for your good and has prepared you for today.

The need now is to be authentic. Whatever we’ve silenced should be voiced, whatever we’ve set aside should be picked up, and whatever good we haven’t lived should be experienced.
   

What does Women Celebrating Life offer?

We offer an organization structured especially to meet the needs of women 40 and older. Women Celebrating Life is designed with you in mind.

And, yes, we do invite younger women to join us – we call them our “little sisters” until they celebrate their 40th birthdays.

We offer Celebration Circles. These are chapters of women who meet once a month in groups of 6 to 10. (Click Here to join or start a Celebration Circle in your area.)

  • At these meetings you may do whatever you choose! We have many suggestions in the free Director’s Guide we’ll send you. (Call Celebration Headquarters: 866. GO WOMEN 469.6636)

  • At the meetings you can talk about each woman’s goals and ways you can help one another reach your goals and develop your talents.

  • If you choose, your Celebration Circle can play every month – or use your time together like a Book Club – or perform a service each month… anything you want! But this is a sisterhood of celebration, self-improvement, and service and we encourage you to have fun, develop your talents, and to serve others.

  • We offer www.WomenCelebratingLife.com ~ a website jam-packed with uplifting articles, audio presentations, a Message Board (where you can ask questions about anything from hot flashes, Botox, marriage, or parenting to grandparenting, health, fitness, and more), a Journal Area where you can record your thoughts and keep them private or make them public; email capabilities so you can email your friends – and Celebration Circles can communicate with one another, post their meeting times and events. This website is truly amazing!

  • We offer monthly, one hour teleseminars. Every member can hear entertaining and informative presentations given by experts and speakers who teach and inspire… a new presentation every month! This is also a time to ask questions and talk “live” with other members and WCL leaders.

  • Additionally, we offer Women Celebrating Life events. Held regularly, our events are highlights of the year for many members. We gather together to learn, laugh, and love as we help one another explore new possibilities, discover new gifts, and connect heart-to-heart through celebration, self-improvement, and service. At our events we make sure each one of our three elements are addressed: we celebrate (have fun!!), we self-improve (learn, learn, learn!), and we serve (reach out to those in need).

I’d like to extend a personal invitation for you to join us.

As I thought deeply about this organization I came to the conclusion that we’ll only succeed long-term if we offer very real solutions for significant needs and concerns common to women 40 and older. So I defined five of these:

Need: To know we’re not alone with our concerns and sagging skin.

WCL’s Solution: We’re a sisterhood; we’re there for our members 24/7 offering love, support, and encouragement.

Need: To know clearly how we can best use our time and talents during this season, and to believe we can contribute in meaningful ways.

WCL’s Solution: We help you with your plans and dreams, and with the beliefs that will make them happen. (We’re dream believers!)

Need: To know how to overcome the obstacles in our lives.

WCL’s Solution: We show you exactly how to hurdle every barrier in your life and excel like you’ve never excelled before.

Need: To have the tools and resources we need to enrich our lives.

WCL's Solution:  We provide many tools and resources to help women make these their best years ever!

Need: To know how to fill our cups so we can give love better from our overflow.

WCL’s Solution: Your cup will fill to overflowing as you join like-minded, caring women in celebration, self-improvement, and service.

Eleanor Roosevelt, one of my heroes, wrote: “The purpose of life, after all, is to live it – to taste and experience to the utmost; to reach out eagerly and without fear for new and richer experiences.”
   

I’d like to share with you how we use the wonderful word “Celebrate.”

Celebrate!

Care about yourself, God, and others
Embrace positive changes in this season of your life
Learn the skills you need to hurdle every barrier in your path
Evaluate where you are and where you want to be then make course corrections

Rejoice in your passions and gifts and share them with others
Add to your own cup; you can give better from your overflow
Take time each day to see the beauty in life and express gratitude for your blessings
Enjoy this season of opportunity and dance like no one’s watching!

May you be blessed as you enjoy this season of life to the fullest, seizing every opportunity to explore new possibilities, discover new gifts and connect with other women heart-to-heart.

Again, I extend to you a personal invitation to join us ~ come join our sisterhood of celebration, self-improvement, and service. It will strengthen your life!
