Welcome to the December issue of New Easy Women News.

This month we are pictured outside 'The Court of Two Sisters', a famous old restaurant in New Orleans. Our recent visit there was both huge fun and very sobering. What we came away with was a sense of the pride and dignity of the people there. Those who have returned are desperate to rebuild and re-energise their city. The message we got over and over again from the people we talked to was 'when you go back home please tell everyone we are here and we need them to visit us'. And we have no difficulty passing that message on because despite the horror of what they experienced New Orleans still an amazing and exciting place.

Our New Easy Woman of the Month is Julia Miles. You'll find that one part of her story is especially inspiring at this festive time when many of us are socialising more than we usually do!

We would like to share with you the New Easy Women schedule for the first half of 2007.

It has been an exciting year! Lots of movement and lots more to come...

We are thrilled at how quickly the NEW community is growing and have been playing with ways to support more community interaction. With that in mind, look for the launch of the NEW blog in February. We can't wait to hear (and see in writing) what is happening for you and what you think!

This month we simply want to wish you all a Happy Christmas - if you celebrate Christmas or Happy Holidays if Christmas isn't your thing!

If you are one of the many people who will be thinking about resolutions for 2007 we challenge you not to this year!

Or rather we invite you to make only one resolution - to make 2007 the year you give yourself permission to be easy in all you do. To be willing to see your magnificence and bring it fully present as your gift for the world.

Imagine if every person in the world chose to do that .......

Until recently Julia tried to hide who she was. She feared that people would see her as a freak if they knew about her 'gifts' and innate abilities. But now she has let all that go and is enjoying life way beyond what she could ever have imagined. What did she do? Gave herself permission to be who she is...and doing it was easy! To find out how she became the belle of the ball read her story......

We are always looking for New Easy Women to highlight each month. Please let us know if you, or a woman you know, would be willing to share your experience and inspire our readers.

First, let us say that our events are becoming much more co-creational - just as we'd intended. The New Easy Women Newsletters may come from us for now, but we also know that this movement has it's own energy. And though we are thrilled to be creating and playing with it, the women of the world want and need your contributions as well.

We are starting our events in 2007 in Israel! And we have a several things on the calendar. We start our adventures in Jerusalem with our dear friend Miri Nave for a New Easy Women Weekend from January 26th - 27th. On January 28th, we will lead a one day workshop for coaches. On January 30th we will be in Tel Aviv where we have been asked to present at the 2nd Annual International Coaching Conference in Israel. Please see NEW in Israel for the updated details and forward on to anyone you know who might like to attend (or who would like a flyer in Hebrew.)

Lynne will be joining Deb in the US for several events March. We will be participating in International Women's Week at the University of Massachusetts - Lowell on March 7th and anticipate running two weekends, one for women - and one for men! We are co-creating these weekends with one of our past weekend participants, the inspiring Lisa Johnson, and know that the right people will be there with us. If this calls to you or you'd like to create something different while Lynne is in the States, please contact us.

May of 2007 will find Deb with Lynne in the UK and then we'll both travel to Denmark! We are working on a UK event with Mary Lunnen and a Denmark event with some of the remarkable women we have been meeting. Again, if either of these call you, or if you are aware of anything else that needs to be created, please let us know.

Great coverage of the New Easy Women movement and book signing in the US last month in the Groton Herald. Details on the website soon.

Frighteningly enough, that REDBOOK story doesn't want to die! Deb is featured in a follow up article about living her dream in the January issue, page 74.
