CASH FLOW - Saturday March 29, 2008 from 12:30 pm - 6:00 pm
You are cordially invited to join us for an afternoon of fun and learning with "Rich Dad's CASHFLOW Game", on Saturday, March 29, 2008. Our goal is to have fun and learn how to, "master our money" and our, “cash flow”.
Our game will be facilitated by Tai Goodwin, life/career coach and author of Reclaiming Your Brilliance (June 2008). Learn more about Tai on her blog: Move Making Mommies. Tai will also be presenting us with a mini-workshop called: Transforming Your Life: Are You Ready to Go From Bright to Brilliant?
Come early for this insightful presentation. *Please note that we will be getting started at 12:30 pm and we expect the evening to end around 6:00 pm.
Light snacks and refreshments will be served.
Rich Dad's CASHFLOW game is an educational program that teaches accounting, finance, and investing at the same time and makes learning fun. With the CASHFLOW game, you will learn how to get out of the rat race and onto the fast track where your money works for you instead of you working hard for your money. For more information on the game that uses at it's core the concepts from the book Rich Dad Poor Dad.

Transforming Your Life: Are You Ready to Go From Bright to Brilliant?
Are you frustrated with the current quality of your life, but have no idea how to break the negative patterns that are keeping you from the success and fulfillment you desire? You know you are bright. And deep down you know you are brilliant. Somewhere along the curves and twists of your life's path, you've lost your joy, passion, and drive - that brilliance that used to inspire you. For some of us, through no fault of our own, our brilliance was stripped away at a young age through unfortunate situations. And for some of us our lost brilliance is a result of bad choices and self-destructive behavior and thinking. For those who are open and willing, your current situation is ripe with opportunity: it is never too late to rediscover your brilliance and take action toward creating the life you want.
This mini-workshop is a first step towards reclaiming your brilliance and becoming the woman you are destined to be. This dynamic group session provides insight into:

What is a Vision Board and or Treasure Map?
A vision board (also called a Treasure Map) a is typically a poster board on which you paste or collage images that you’ve remove or cut out from various magazines. It’s simple. The idea behind this is that when you surround yourself with images of who you want to become, what you want to have, where you want to live, or where you want to vacation, your life changes to match those images and those desires.Teasure Maps/Vision boards do the same thing as short term and long term goal planning. They add clarity to your desires, and feeling to your visions.
There are several methods you can use for creating your treasure map/vision board. You can choose which one works best for you, depending on where you find yourself on this path of creating your life.
Supplies you’ll need for creating a Treasure Map/Vision Board:
Poster board and or Brown Paper(Target/Staples sells a really nice matte finish board. We highly recommend it.)
A big stack of different magazines. (You can get them at libraries, hair salons, dentist offices or your personal collection and you asked your friends or family members). Make sure you find lots of different types.
Recommended magazines bring plenty of...Oprah, Real Simple, Natural Home, Yoga Journal, Dwell, Better Homes and Gardens, Architecture Digest, The Economist, Parenting, Money, Black Enterprise, Ebony, Essence, Business Week, etc.
- Glue. Not Elmers. (It makes the pages ripple.) We recommend Glue or Rubber cement. Glue sticks are our second choice because they don’t last.
Before you begin your vision board:A little ritual before you begin your vision board. Sit quietly and set the intent. With lots of kindness and openness, ask yourself what it is you want. Maybe one word will be the answer. Maybe images will come into your head. Just take a moment to be with that. This process makes it a deeper experience. It gives a chance for your ego to step aside just a little, so that you can more clearly create your vision.
Put on soft music. Our favorite music for activities like this is music that inspires your soul.
The Five Steps of Creating a Treasure Map/Vision Board:Step
1: Go through your magazines and cut or remove the images from them. No gluing yet! Just let yourself have lots of fun looking through magazines and pulling out pictures or words or headlines that inspire you. Have fun with it. Seperate the pictures images and phrases and words.
Step 2: Go through the images and begin to lay your favorites on the board. Eliminate any images that no longer feel right. This step is where your intuition comes in. As you lay the pictures on the board, you’ll get a sense how the board should be laid out. For instance, you might assign a theme to each corner of the board. Health, Job, Spirituality, Relationships, for instance. Or it may just be that the images want to go all over the place. Or you might want to fold the board into a book that tells a story.
Step 3: Glue everything onto the board. Add writing if you want. You can paint on it, or write words with markers.Step
4: (optional, but powerful) Leave space in the very center of the treasure map/vision board for a fantastic photo of yourself where you look radiant and happy. Paste yourself in the center of your board.
Step 5: Hang your vision board in a place where you will see it often.

Decide that you want it, more than you are afraid of it.

Time sure fly's when you are having fun. We hope that you all have found time in your busy schedules to enjoy the sun and all the activities the warm weather allows us to enjoy.

In that same spirit we are looking forward to our collective and individual growth and happiness. Our meetings have that intention at the core. We hope that each of us will be renewed and inspired as we come together in support of one another.
We have three dates for the Fall/Winter Schedule
September 22, 2007 @ MaryMount 2:30 - 5:30 pm
November 10, 2007 @ MaryMount 2:30 - 5:30 pm
January 12 or 19th, 2008 @ MaryMount 2:30 - 5:30 pm (We will need to decide on one of those dates for January) - Let's celebrate the blessing of the New Year - we will have a treasure mapping brunch on this date.
We hope that you will join us. Be on the look out for the invitation to our upcoming September event coming your way soon. We look forward to seeing all of your beautiful faces and hearing about all the wonderful experiences you have had this summer.
May you and your families stay in God's Peace and Grace.

Thank You!
Two weeks ago we shared, we laughed and read powerful testimonies.
All the treasure map collages we created are evidence of what high visions we have for ourselves and what wonderful women we really are.
Everyone who completed a map did a beautiful job. Some of us could hardly break away from the great conversation to complete our maps. We shared our visions and talked about the next steps for the group. The evening was great and after our meeting a few of us went to BBQ's where we had a few more laughs and went home with the buzz of those frozen margaritas.
We would like to thank everyone who attended the event. You each contributed so much. We hope that those who were unable to attend will look out for our email in August when we will send out the fall schedule packed with relevant events and workshops that we hope will empower you and bring your closer to your dreams.
In the next couple of months we are looking to develop the programming for Sistars Fall Calendar.
Our goal is to create opportunities to develop our own self-sufficiency and community (i.e.: Investment club, Monthly Sistars Gathering, Workshops, Speaker Series, etc).
We hope that those of you who are interested will join us in shaping the group.
Our planning and development meetings will be held on the following dates:
May 5 @ MaryMount 2:30 - 5:30 pm
June 9 2:30 5:30 - Location TBD - (Please let us know if you are interested in hosting a planning session or have an idea @ where it could be held.)
June 23 @ MaryMount 2:30 - 5:30 pm
We will not have any meetings scheduled for July and Aug - but plan to launch our calendar of events in September.
Thanks again for all of your support - we look forward to seeing you soon.
Also, please email us @ sistarsnyc@hotmail.com if you have any questions.
