Hi Whitefire,

This is a really good observation. Thank you for that!

BIG Love,

There is soething else unspoken here. I will bet there are MANY women (or women and men) in this association that are feeling the exact same way. Organizations have policies and requirements for reasons, but if there are many members dissatisfied for the same reasons, there may be avenues for change. Especially true if all of you In the organization have voting capacity and those can be changed for the good of all or the majority.

Talk with cohorts in this organization BEFORE you give up on the great connections, good returns for your business and the joyful parts you would experience even more of, IF the weight of too many requirements and expectations were not placed upon each of you.

And remember how this is affecting your life includes family, friends, and a much larger community? Now multiply that by the number of equally frustrated members and the community that surrounds them. Your conversations with members may be the start of freedom within this membership or in instigating another similar association or organization without the overwheim.

Visioning is another tool that can help you reframe and prioritize your desires for yourself and all involved. There is an online weekly Monday noon visioning group that may assist you and others who feel similarly.
