In 2006 I found myself in a miserably depressed state. I woke up every morning not wanting to face the day. There were many days I didn’t get out of bed and days I kept myself in the confines of my bedroom because it was a small secure place to be. I was searching on the Internet one day looking for help with a skin disorder when God lead me to a woman mentor who was able to help me release the “issues in my tissues”. It was through this mentor that I began to learn the importance of self-care and emotional release. (The full story is at www.shileennixon.blogspot.com)
My mentor took me through many creative fun activities to release the pains and hurts from the past … from art techniques to fun dates with myself and lots in between. I learned that I do matter and that I need personal attention from myself – loving, caring attention. That following summer I had an idea. Wouldn’t it be fun to do a personal 30-day self-care challenge? It had such a powerful impact on my life I knew that it needed to be taken to the world. The Wonder Woman Challenge was born. I think of it has my way of paying it forward.

I am currently involved in the planning and executing of worldwide women’s conferences called Woman Discover Yourself of which the first will be held here in Pittsburgh this summer. My leadership involvement with this program goes beyond my wildest dreams to say the least. It will give me a huge platform in which to share my Wonder Woman message. All I can say, ladies, is to stay tuned. The formal announcement will be coming in a week or so.

First and foremost, Jesus Christ has had the greatest influence on my life. He has been my rock in all of the good and the bad. I have thought so many times over the years that I have no idea where I would be without my faith in Him. I can’t always see where my ultimate destination is but He always gives me the next step in my journey … no matter what it is … personal, family, career, etc. and I’ve never been let down.
There are several people who have influenced me which lead to The Wonder Woman Challenge. Georgie Holbrook is the mentor I spoke of who taught me about self-care and emotional release. Dr. Cheryl Townsley, ND a beautiful Christian woman who has had a major influence on my life in the area of holistic health. I consider her to be the best naturopathic doctor in the country.
The third person would be Jon Benson who is a professional fitness guru. He goes way beyond nutrition and exercise and deals with our psychology. I took a 12-week class from him years ago called Education In Destiny that had nothing to do with fitness but everything to do with our life’s purpose and abundance. It was during this class that The Wonder Woman Challenge was conceived.
I just want to say here that having mentors in our life is important. They are able to see things in us that we can’t always see. They stretch us, encourage us, and love us where we are to be more of who we are. I encourage you to seek out mentors!!

Fear has been my major obstacle. It has held me back from so much. Overcoming anything is just one decision away and that’s what I did. This past year, particularly, I made a decision to step up my life and operate more out of strength. It hasn’t always been easy, as I’ve had to work through insecure, fearful moments and feelings of wanting to quit. I did whatever it took. I found myself many times going out for walks, gardening or whatever to pray and give myself talks. I would muster the courage to keep going, to take the next step.
When the New Year was approaching it became very clear to me that 2009 would be all about courage. Courage is the opposite of fear. Because I have embraced the call to courage it has opened the doors to huge opportunities one of which I have already shared, the Woman Discover Yourself conferences. The Bible tells us to not fear but be strong and courageous.

Every woman reading this and beyond, is a magnificent creature. You are amazingly brilliant and beautiful! God created you as a gift to the world as there is no other like you! Become a “women of wonder” by engaging in self-care. Help yourself realize your potentials so that you can become who you were created to be. Amazing things are in your future. Take that step to reach out and grab the amazing, as it is right there within your reach.
