GGN Member Jane Baldwin encourages Hurkle-Durkle
“What I like about the term hurkle-durkle, a 19th-century Scottish term for lounging in bed after waking up, is that a broader meaning of mindful enjoyment is replacing its traditional, derogatory meaning of laziness.
Mindful enjoyment comes from a place of self-care of listening to your body and knowing what you need.
Hurkle-durkle, in this sense, doesn’t come from the guilt of laziness or the mindset of – “I have to get up and hit this day hard!”
This different way of seeing an old word gives us new information to ponder and a new way of being guilt-free with rest.
Imagine having a new language within the English language that works like stepping stones walking you to your new reality to a life more aligned with ease and attention to your care.”
Jane Baldwin is a mindfulness coach whose Unwinding Compass method helps people think more clearly by focusing on their breathing.
You can learn more about Jane and the Unwinding Compass on her Website
Thank you to Toni Portmann for sharing these inspiring messages….
Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.

Track Meetings
We still ask for $5 to cover costs. And yes, you can register at the last minute…. but it would be GREAT if you let us know a couple of days before so we can plan our refreshments!!!
Our Track meetings are designed to give us a sacred space to have meaningful, purposeful conversations without fear of being judged or competed with. Only Members can attend. They are amazing experiences, unlike any ‘networking meeting’ you have ever attended!
GGN members MUST REGISTER to attend these meetings, so just follow the links below! And if you want to learn about us, go ahead and join GGN~~if you decide it isn’t for you, we will refund your membership fee!
Currently we meet the 2nd Monday morning and 3rd Wednesday evening of each month (see below).
Each one is an event or happening in itself. Some members come frequently, some come only once in a while. Whenever you attend one, you will find out things you didn’t know, connect with women who will challenge and inspire you, and you will leave with some new perspectives.

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.
Great Girls Are Amazing Women!!! Thank You!!!
