Begin to Rebuild Your Life

I found a wonderful Web site today for the woman who is looking for the motivation to “get going,” again.  And of course, for a young widow who is in the process of reinventing her life and starting over, getting going is what it’s all about.  I know – it isn’t easy, but it can be done and I know you can do it.

I first thought that Girls Get Going was just for women in their 20s or maybe 30s.  It has a youthful look.  But as I looked around, I realized this was part of the atmosphere of the Web site.  It is positive, uplifting, and very motivational, without being preachy.  It felt homey, feminine, and safe.

There are several features this site has to offer that would appeal to a woman who has been widowed and is beginning to start thinking about making some new friends and exploring life outside of her living room.  If you sign up and become a site member (which is free of charge), you will have access to an array of tools and site content.  And for widows it feels comfortable because this is a “no guys allowed” Web site; having the ability to talk to other women while you are working on your own life experience, without feeling self-concious around men (a common reaction for a widow) is important.  There are just some things we don’t want to talk to men about!

Girls Get Going describes their features as:

Create your own blog, participate in discussions, read about other’s experiences with goal setting and be encouraged on your own journey of change for your health, career, finances, home, relationships, hobbies, spirituality and personal appearance. Articles and resources, links and discussions will spur you onward.

They have a nice guide to take you through the steps of joining and what will be available to you as a member.  I particularly liked the various challenges; they are enough to keep the motivation going but not so much as to be intimidating when everyday seems like an impossible and insurmountable challenge, in and of itself. 

I hope you will visit, and join, Girls Get Going.  When you are ready to reach out and begin to find your life again, you will need a resource like this.  If you aren’t ready yet, bookmark the site.  You will be ready someday; you may not believe that today, but trust me, you will want to find yourself again.

I think GGG is a great site to do just exactly that:  Find yourself, reinvent yourself, and step back into living your life.
