It is just days away! “Envision It 2020”, our Women for Sobriety Virtual Conference will start on Friday, June 12th and is filled with connection, WFS meetings and informative and exciting workshops. This weekend is the culmination of countless hours of volunteer effort, adaptation and what Statement #11 is filled with, enthusiasm!
Just like many other plans that needed to be altered this year, WFS adapted the format and virtual conference planning began. Our keynote speakers this year are Dawn Nickel, Ph.D., founder of She Recovers and Lynn Matti, MA, author, coach, and Cognitive Behavioral Licensed Mental Wellness Counselor. Starting with our Opening Ceremony on Friday evening, the weekend is brimming with enthusiasm. Join in the fun with interactive sessions, themed video lounges and discussion boards. This year WFS offers 4 live workshops opportunities and 17 breakout sessions which include “Intuitive Eating in Recovery,” and “Five Money Questions for Women.”
Set your enthusiasm soaring this weekend. If you have not signed up yet, there is still time. Jump start your practice of Statement #11 this week and join us for WFS Envision It 2020 Virtual Conference,

Hi 4C Women,
I love how the WFS organization and the incredible 4C women have accepted this unprecedented challenge of a virtual conference. It has taken the commitment of many women willing to volunteer hundreds of hours to get this together. I have to admit that along with my enthusiasm is acknowledging that I am a bit out of my comfort zone but that is okay. It is one of the many reasons I value the WFS program. I can admit my concerns and focus on what I will learn from this experience. One thing I can share is that I did not volunteer to be part of the IT team and for very obvious reasons!
I do hope you will consider registering for the conference. There is so much we can learn from the workshops and presenters. I believe this conference will be such a powerful benefit in giving us both the enthusiasm we are seeking and bonding together in coping with this recent time of social isolation. What’s great is that we can view all the workshops and presentations for a whole week after the conference. We won’t have to miss a single thing!
In thinking about enthusiasm and treasuring the moments of your New Life, what interests have come into your life in recovery? Are they new interests or renewed ones? What treasures have you discovered as you embark on discovering and uncovering your joy, your enthusiasm in your New Life?
It might help to answer these questions if you are struggling to find enthusiasm:
What puts a smile on your face?
What sparks your creativity?
What would you do for free?
Bonded in seeking and experiencing enthusiasm in our New Life, Dee
