Calling For Help
Guest Author, June 22, 2012
Do you ever ask for help? Or have you been conditioned to think that asking for help is a sign of weakness? Do you find yourself thinking “I can do it myself” a lot?
Guilty!

I’m Sprouting Wings & Giving Owning Pink Hers
Lissa Rankin, June 12, 2012
When I first started blogging in April 2009, it was just little ol’ me and a dream.
From the beginning, I imagined OwningPink.com as a community, not a solo blog.

Moving Meditation: A Pole Dancing Party
Sheena LaShay, January 13, 2012
I recently attended a private dance party where beautiful women moved in the emotionality of their vulnerability and magic happened. I was asked to work as the photographer and videographer - in between dancing - and this short video below shows what happened at this wonderful party. Some of the women at the party had never touched a pole in their lives. There were others who have been students of various studios for many years, most of which study at Sheila Kelley's S Factor, including myself.

What A Year Of Many Deaths Taught Me
Karen Reynolds, September 3, 2011
In the year 2007, a total of six people in my life died. Beyond people living in war torn countries, who knows anyone for whom six loved ones departed this good green Earth in a typical year? It was intense. I realized as I walking my dog yesterday that there are few to whom I’ve talked about that experience. Three of my loved ones died from brain tumors from various cancers. Two more were utterly freak accidents. The final passing was from complications of diabetes. My kind and compassionate business partners and close friends knew; but it became almost embarrassing. It was like: “Another one? Really? Your poor family!” I caught myself wondering if those that knew would think I was making things up like some sort of whacko attention-getting ploy. I grew to loathe the phone ringing because all too often I would hang up with a sinking, shock-like feeling realizing, while whirling, that I still had to keep it together to move through life. Ironically, 2007 was also the year I plunged into co-ownership of Balance Restored Center for Integrative Medicine in Mill Valley, which is the site for my acupuncture practice and which I love. When it rains it pours it seems.

Lissa Rankin, August 30, 2011
Summer is over at the Rankin household. Siena’s back in school. The long, lazy days of swimming at Mom’s lake house and riding rollercoasters at Cedar Point are behind us. And it’s almost past Labor Day.
So I find myself on this day, pausing to take a deep breath, to examine where I’ve been, to explore where I’m going, and to let you in on my process, since you’ve been watching me bumble along - plundering and strewing at times - as I figure it out.

Lissa Rankin, May 8, 2011
I’m not sure if any of you have noticed, but the featured posts we put on OwningPink.com’s home page lately have been pretty much ALL LISSA, ALL THE TIME, when we have 30-something killer bloggers who write for Owning Pink.
So What’s The Skinny? Why Am I Stealing The Show?
Because that’s what you all are asking for -- both directly and through Google Analytics. My least read blog posts still get double the traffic of any other blogger on Owning Pink, even bloggers whose blogs have way more traffic than Owning Pink. In fact this post got 2.5 million hits in one freakin' day! I so want to showcase the writing and work of people who are doing awesome work in the world to empower women. But the reality is that the Owning Pink community wants me to write more. Period.
And this TOTALLY bums me out.
Find Affirmation in Groups!
Leslee Horner, December 10, 2010
We all want a special place
As infants and toddlers we begin to learn the ways in which we can get recognized. In some cases it’s cooing and smiling, in other cases it’s crying and screaming. We watch the reactions of those around us and we act accordingly so we can have our own valued role in this exclusive group known as family.
