Fe-line is four months old and I wanted to thank everyone for their support so far. The Word of Mouth events have gone really well and although I thought they would be great for other women, I didn’t think about the amazing affect attending these events and meeting these inspirational women would have on me.
Fe-line word of mouth events have made me into a completely different person. It sounds dramatic but true. I am stronger mentally, I know how to deal with situations better, I reflect on the way I do things and question if I can do it better. Each event has opened up something new I had never thought of! I feel strong, empowered and inspired. But more important than anything else, I have realised I can do things differently. For along time I have thought: “This is just the way I am.” But you actually can do anything if you put your mind to it and prioritise!
So what have I learnt and from who:
Candida – Don’t accept the Sunday night blues, make your job work for you.
Annabel - Wake up smiling, laugh for no reason and fake laughter if you don’t feel like it.
Lucy – Ask for help, don’t try and do everything yourself.
Silvia – Realisation – realise that you can feel better emotionally.
Shannon – Work hard and your business will go from strength to strength.
Emma- Do you what you’re good at, your first love.
Shelley - Keep hoping, keep dreaming, be who you were born to be.
Kate – Add a twitter widget to your blog and blog regularly.
Ami – Being happy enhances brain power and giving back to society makes us feel happy.
Nickie - Don’t judge people before you have got to know them.
It is a combination of all of these lessons that has made me feel so much better emotionally and physically. I do feel hopeful and I am becoming the woman that I was meant to be!
I knew that having a positive group of women working together could be a powerful thing and Word of Mouth is becoming just that. Women working together to help each other out rather than tearing each other apart. I love Word of Mouth and I love the Fe-line women of Oxford, thank you!!

Lovely JoJo,
Thank you for being so courageous and inspiring yourself, Sweetie. It would have all not happened without your initiative and spirit behind it all. It takes a willingness and readiness to change, and that you have shown in an exceptional way. I love Fe-line and Word of Mouth, too, and may it become more and more successful and a well established platform for women in and around Oxfordshire!
With a big virtual hug,
Silvia
