Picture women laughing, drinking some good vino, enjoying each other’s company and some delicious food. Could be anywhere, right? How about adding a dose of positive energy and celebration of womanhood? All together we have the fantastic organization, Chix Making the Difference. Debbie Martinez and Terlisa Faye Sheppard are the co-creators of this celebration of life and we are so lucky to have Debbie with us for this week’s show.

I do have to say that one the first thing I noticed about Debbie was her genuine beautiful smile and how easily it was to just talk with her. It was as if we had known each other for a long time! She shares with us why they created Chix Making the Difference (CMD) back in October 2006 with only 8 members. Then, within a year, they had 40 members and are continuing to add more each week. Debbie emphasizes during our discussion that this is NOT a networking group or a support group, but rather a group just for women who need an outlet. We all know that women are not great organizers of “take-time-for-me” time, so Debbie and Terlisa decided to take the stress off and all women have to do is show up! (How awesome is that?!?)

In their once -a- month- 3- hour- long Saturday evening meetings/get togethers, they only share positive energy. (Imagine 3 hours of pure fun and laughter!) Any negativity is literally left at the door. I did have the wonderful pleasure of attending one meeting just this past month and everything she said was TOTALLY TRUE!!! I had so much fun and left with only peace and rejuvenated energy. I laughed so much and got to learn how to belly dance that evening. 30 women of all shapes and sizes were belly dancing and ENJOYING it! No judgements, no worries, just enjoying the moment! You will love them.

Chix Making the Difference is actively involved in Shepherd’s Promise and Compassionate Hands and Hearts Breast Cancer Outreach and has had some significant experiences with both organizations. This organization not only makes a difference in the lives of one another, but also in the lives of the women they touch in these organizations.

We can get involved simply by logging onto their website, www.chixmakingthedifference.com and choose which night you want to come join them. Also, you can join them in the various community activities they are involved in.

Trust me. This is one group of “Chix” that you can be yourself and celebrate what it means to be a woman! Enjoy! I totally love them!
