The goal of Women of Excellence: Not Without a Struggle (NWAS) is to enhance the “total woman” spiritually, educationally, economically and socially–beginning with middle school girls globally. Being an abuse survivor and becoming more and more aware of so many horror stories from women of all walks of life, I believe there’s an urgency to make haste in this process.
Here’s how we have and will achieve success in our four core areas:
Spirituality: I have found that everybody does not believe in God as I do, and see the need for Him to be first in their lives. So far, I have not come across one woman who does not believe in a higher power. Enhancing spiritually for me is like a cleansing of the mind, body and soul.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
I have run into women who are beat down so much, they don’t know what to do. Prayer, good reading, quiet moments and a good listener always worked for me. I can truly say this has worked for so many women who share it with me regularly over several years. When I hear stories about how the organization has helped them, my soul screams with happiness. I have learned to be a good listener. Sometimes the conversation may end with weeping but I am thankful for the change that the organization has made.
Women of Excellence NWAS provides economic assistance with school tuition
Education: Don’t ever stop learning. Always strive for excellence, and be the pacesetter. We must improve our self-esteem. Getting to girls early in youth is so important! We can’t let them go out in the world beat down and with the wrong thoughts as to how life should be and most of all not knowing what love is and what it is not. Our organization offers workshops, retreats, mentoring, and lectures from people who have traveled the path of abuse. We also offer counseling and legal assistance, and scholarships to three colleges. Contact the organization first, and we may help fund your training at the institution of your choice (as long as it is accredited and you meet the criteria
for acceptance).
Economic Help: We have found that many women stay in abusive relations is because they think that they can’t do any better. If we succeed with spiritually and educationally this will fall in line. You are equipped – feeling good about yourself and have the skills to function without the abuser.
Social Help: Be selective when it comes to friends and where you frequent. If possible select people who are smarter than you are because you will learn from them and select people who will compliment you.
Our main goal is to go globally with the message about domestic violence and prevention. We want an organization in every city, and the curriculum in all schools–beginning in middle schools. We have reached over a million people via the Internet, workshops, retreats, schools, universities elected officials, word of mouth and newspaper articles.
What to look forward to:
Our next major conference is April 9, 20ll. We had a clothes give-a-way on January 17, 2011. We are and will always be women helping women.

I have pages of quotes that my daughter is going to publish that my parents (her grandparents) said. One of my favorite quotes is something my Mom said every single day. If someone was going back and forth or undecided about something, Mom would say:
