What are some fabulous ways to Spring Into Action?
Spring is a time of awakening, shaking off the musty, confining feelings of winter and making new plans, creating new ways to express ourselves in the world. So here are some questions:
- How much time do you spend going over the past?
- What could you do for yourself to move forward instead?
- Do you think about what you’re missing out on?
- Have you thought about ways to create space for what you really love to do?
- What is in the way of you doing what you really love?
- Is that really in the way, or are you telling yourself the same old stories?
- Do you take care of others but are too depleted to care for yourself?
- What could you change in your life to make more room for yourself?
The things you change don’t have to be dramatic or life altering.
What about adding some enhancements to your life, a few at a time? You could:
- Make time to go out and listen to music a couple of times a month…
- Check out a museum you haven’t been to in a while…
- Cook something different and invite a few guests…
- Read an actual book instead of on your electronic reader…
- Listen to yourself talking to see if you are repeating old stories…
- Check out who’s running for office locally and learn about them…
- Challenge yourself to do at least one completely new thing each month…
And if you haven’t ever been to one of our Gatherings, or haven’t been to one in a while, join us on April 3 for an incredible two hours of a little bit of networking and a lot of meaningful conversations with amazing women who will inspire you to keep learning and growing. We’d love to see you!
Our guest speaker for April 3, Nell Merlino, launched her Born Worthy spring initiative with a group of teens in NYC.
Amazing conversations about their lives, their futures and how they see themselves as young women.

From GGN Member Toni Portmann
I can’t imagine
I can’t imagine doing what needs to be done without having done what needed to be done
I can’t imagine learning what needs to be learned without having learned what needed to be learned
I can’t imagine loving without having loved or having been loved
I can’t imagine having gratitude without having had the multitude of blessings that I have been given to be grateful for
Member Profile
Please welcome Pam Eudaric to Great Girls Network, as she is an amazing addition to our group! Pam was born and raised on St. Croix in the Virgin Islands, but came stateside to attend Rice University in Houston and later law school at the University of Texas in Austin.
She practiced as a business litigation attorney for several years and then her three sons (now 30, 26 and 23) arrived. Motherhood has a way of shaking things up and it certainly did for Pam. She is now a business owner — times 3!
Chocolate Secrets, located at 3926 Oak Lawn Avenue, a casual cafe, sells coffee, gourmet organic chocolates and gifts and is also a community where literacy groups meet, live music is played and open mic night is Monday. “I wanted to recreate the feel of St. Croix and I have succeeded,” says Pam.
Business number 2 is the Green Earth Recycling Company, “this business allowed me to pour 17,000 square feet of concrete and nurture my male side.”
And finally, the Joe Carter Construction Company, a business names fro her grandfather who was a paint contractor. Pam explains, “I got into this business when I got a bid from another construction company that was ridiculous and I thought, I can do this!” She read, she researched and she met with building inspectors and, no surprise, she did it!
Pam also helped found and hosts the Global Woman Club of Dallas each month at Chocolate Secrets, an organization that brings together women from 30 countries to receive support and business assistance.
Pam is all about women supporting women and feels too often “girls are told no.” Great Girls Network was a natural fit for her and she can’t wait to begin attending track meetings!
Thank you to Lynne Sipiora for our Member Profile!
Become a Member!
Great Girls Network is our way of being the opposite of the Good Ol’ Boys Network (which is still very much alive and well!). Even if you don’t participate in Track meetings, your membership gives you a way to support our existence and be a part of a growing group of women who really appreciate each other. And the Trii-Annual Gatherings are unlike any other “networking” event! We know women don’t network like men. We want to build relationships, we want deeper, more meaningful connections. That is exactly what GGN provides.
Our membership fee of $50 per year gives you access to our Track Meetings and also contributions to our Newsletter. The fee helps sustain our website, but it also ensures that when you participate in a Track meeting, you will honor the sacredness of the conversations because you are a member.
We created a digital card that helps people understand what they can get from joining GGN so click here to see the card.
Your membership helps give us that foundation, the strength to grow and have an impact on the lives of so many more women.
