[Viva] A personal request to all Viva women

[Denise Wozniak]

I think Viva is a fabulous group of women. We may want to look at a goal
for Viva and participation. I like the fact that there are women on the end
of an email to talk to and ask questions of.

I will be doing a workshop at the Gathering this year.  It is listed as
being about life purpose and meaning but I have to admit it is more about
what makes us happy and discussing how we can do more of it.  This may tie
into the lunchtime workshop on Friday - hahaha. Just kidding!
