Subject: August Women as Leaders: About Friends
Proprietary
"Women as Leaders" is a collection of inspirational quotes by and about
women published monthly by VHPublishing's woman2woman newsletter -
http://www.vhpublishing.com/woman2woman . Here is our quote for August 2000
(emailed a few days early to allow for my vacation - see you in next month
with our Fall issue of woman2woman!):
Eleanor Roosevelt wrote:
Many people will walk in and out of your life,
But only true friends will
leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger.
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.
Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.
He who loses money, loses much;
He, who loses a friend, loses much more;
He, who loses faith, loses all.
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
But beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others.
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.
Friends, you and me....
You brought another friend....
And then there were 3....
We started our group....
Our circle of friends....
And like that circle....
There is no beginning or end....
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.

"Verbal abuse occurs because the abuser is in a reality where he feels he
must overpower his victim to feel good about himself." Learn how to
recognize verbal abuse and how to deal with it. You don't have to take it!
learn more about verbal abuse by reading:
Sticks, Stones and Broken Careers: Verbal Abuse in the Workplace By Cathy
Hartt, RN, CNM, MS
This is the featured article at OBGyn.Net.com for June 2000 - check out
http://www.obgyn.net/yw/yw.asp
Have you ever experienced VERBAL ABUSE in the workplace?: I am very
interested in learning more about the experiences of our readers who may
have dealt with these issues. If you believe you have been verbally abused
in the work setting and would like to share your experience with woman2woman
(no actual names will be used without prior written consent), we would love
to hear from you. We will, however, consider all information sent to us to
be property of woman2woman. We also wish to thank the WomenOfWonder.com
July newsletter for printing our original article on verbal abuse in the
workplace - and for allowing others to reprint our article! We have also
been asked for permission to reprint our article on Patricia Evan's (author
of the books entitled "The Verbally Abusive Relationship" and "Verbal Abuse
Survivors Speak Out") soon to be created verbal abuse web site - so watch
for us there! (Please visit her current web site at
http://www.patriciaevans.com/ to learn more about her work!) Our culture
has only just begun to learn from women who have experienced this travesty
and we need to be willing to speak-out in order to help others. woman2woman
hopes to be part of this important process by learning more from our own
readers! How can we EMPOWER others if we are being oppressed? If you do
not have web access and would like a copy of the article please send us your
land address.
OUR NEW NAME: A rose by any other name would still smell sweet. And we
believe we have some sweet entries in our "rename woman2woman" contest.
Entries from as far away as Australia and as close to home as Texas and
Colorado. Now we are deciding which name we like the best - and then
assuring that it meets trademark requirements. We want to take a moment to
thank all the creative folks who took time out to their busy schedule to
help us with this effort. We plan to announce our spectacular new name in
our winter issue!
