Featuring this year's keynote speaker: Karlee Fain, AADP, LMT, KYT How Women Thrive in the New Economy* *Hint, it's about uncovering your super powers, reclaiming your time, and finally letting go. Since you were a young girl, there has been a whisper inside you, telling you that you can do something special, really help others, make a difference, live a good life. But how do you do that when you have real world responsibilities to juggle? Woman, you have grit, that's how you overcame major obstacles. But now, how do you upgrade from good to great in your career, health and relationships? Research, and your own experience, has made it clear that you do your best thinking, living and work when you have the time and space to breathe and hear your own wisdom. Together in this interactive keynote experience you will learn through joyful nourishment and replenishing moments: - the specific and lasting ways you can reclaim time abundance in your days - what your unique "super powers" are and how to let them do the work for you - how to start making the small upgrades that will elevate your personal and professional prosperity to new levels (without you having to turn your world upside down). The key to thriving in 2018 is not working harder, it's letting go. And this year you will learn how to do just that. Expect to walk away feeling calm, inspired, clear, capable and ready to get the most out of this year's WFS Conference. Presenter Bio: Karlee shows driven women how to rise in our new economy, not by doing more, but by harnessing their unique strengths and authentic voice. Karlee makes your dreams real - taking the hunch you have that things could be better, and turning it into a career and lifestyle that nourishes you deeply while helping others. Through a blend of science and soul she will show you how capable you really are, and the specific steps to get from where you are to where you want to be.

5-14-18 Twelve Stepping with Support From Scripture 

Psalm 18:32 It is God who arms me with strength,

And makes my way perfect. (GODS BIG BOOK)

Step 12 - Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Gods way is the only way! Too get to Him you got to go through Jesus .
