A Legacy of Public Good...Mrs. Betty Ford (1918-2011)  

"We were in a position where my husband had been sworn into office during a very, very difficult time.

--Mrs. Betty Ford, First Lady of the United States (1974-1977), Wife of U.S. President Gerald R. Ford, Co-Founder of the Betty Ford Center (previously the Betty Ford Clinic), Breast Cancer Survivor

Leadership Tuesdays!

WOMEN AT LIBERTY BLOG | Can You Spot A Liar and A Single Mom's Journey to Motherhood

Hello Everyone,

Happy Thursday to you!  I believe everyone gets annoyed with liars.  But, do you have the skills to spot one, a real good one?  In this week’s Leadership Tuesday's video, “Liespotting”, from author, Pamela Meyer, she gives clues on how to tell when someone is lying.  The objective is "...moving from liespotting to truth seeking to trust building."

Also, in April Kelly Green shared a series of stories about the “Single, Successful, Mature Women’s Dilemma”.  Several courageous women who are struggling to realize their dreams of having a family and children told us their stories. In the most recent blog, a single mom, who read Kelly’s story, tells her story of going on the motherhood journey alone.  Read, enjoy and feel free to give your feedback.

Go to WOMEN AT LIBERTY to read the blogs.  Have a great day!!
