When we started our U Grow Girl! group we had no idea that our efforts would be acknowledged or even recognized by any media outlets. Our focus was simply empowering each other and growing. We are definitely growing in more ways than one!
This morning I stepped out into the sunshine and picked up my Compton Bulletin from my lawn… Guess who and what was featured at the top of page 4A…… U Grow Girl! with a picture of our wonderful Coach Ace (the creator and founder of UGG!). Please go out and get a copy of this weeks Compton Bulletin. Here’s the clip, click on it to make it bigger!

1 Year and Still Going Strong!
This past September marked 1 year since starting our U Grow Girl! group in Compton. We celebrated in style and met with the ladies of U Grow Girl! from San Pedro, Inglewood, and Los Angeles for tea. We had a wonderful time and our Tea was actually featured in the Inglewood Today newspaper!

Here’s a photo montage of our Tea!

7 is often referred to as a lucky number. Some say it’s the number of perfection and/or the number of completion. I’m inclined to believe all three and then some. I’ll do my best to put into words the power of 7 women coming together in our monthly U Grow Girl! Circle of Thought meetings.
We have been going strong since September 2007. Together we have set goals, achieved goals, celebrated successes, explored areas of opportunity, and identified personal strengths and weaknesses.

It’s been awhile since I’ve given a progress report on what’s happening with U Grow Girl. We are still going and growing strong! Our first meeting started with four and now we are 7.
Meeting #4 was in December and was very different from our regular meetings. We convened with a spread fit for queens. We gained a new member and received her into our circle with open arms.
We spent a great deal of time talking about miracles, blessings, and answered prayers that we all were experiencing and witnessing in our lives. By the meetings end, I’m certain we all had a much deeper and greater understanding of how nothing is impossible to those that believe. Our hearts were encouraged.

Our third meeting of U Grow Girl was awesome!
It gets even better with each meeting.
This month we gained a new member, we are now 5 strong!
We each gave a progress report on our goals, recapped our 1st two meetings, and welcomed and embraced our new member.
We learned about a contest which provides women interested in starting a business with $50,000 in seed money and encouraged each other to participate.
Our growth in our U Grow Girl! Circle of Thought involves changing our thinking to change our lives and life long learning.
