LBB News
Check back often to learn about the celebrations of our LBB members.
We are excited to announce the collection our St Clair County Chapter of Little Black Book completed for the Metro East Diaper Bank. We had so much support from our members and the community to kick off 2024! We celebrated at Mix and Mingles, Women’s Day, decorating cookies and learning at a Business Leadership event. We donated $5,299.20 in items:
Our Riverbend Chapter in Illinois held a Mix & Mingle and donated $200 to Sacred Spaces of Care. Sacred Spaces of CARE was founded and organized as an intentional effort to increase awareness of how trauma impacts our community. They believe that education of trauma and its affects, leads to a deeper understanding of the healing journey and allows us to more appropriately advocate for ourselves and respond to the needs of others.

The West County chapter held a speed friending event for Faith Through Fire. They raised $1,219.50. They have a goal to raise $3000 to help 12 women receive EMDR Therapy.
Their goal is simple. If you want to get better instead of bitter after a breast cancer diagnosis, they are there to help. Their programs and partnerships are specially designed to help you navigate breast cancer easier and improve your quality of life during and after treatment. The Jefferson County chapter supported Mary's House of Hope during a recent event where they collected toiletries and clothing items for men, women, and kids. Their total donated was $4,262 to Mary's House of Hope.
Mary's House of Hopes goal is to transition the women from the emergency shelter (A Safe Place) to independent living, free from violence and fear for one to two years at Mary’s House of Hope. The chapter gathered together at the St. Louis Diaper Bank to network and build Diaper and Flow kits that will be distributed throughout the community to those in need. We donated over $100 in cash and several boxes of items for the kits. We enjoyed meeting LBB members from around the region and some members of the local Junior League.

Laura DeVries, CommCore Marketing Half of all households are now headed by women. The number of households with women at the top increased by 17% since 1990. More women are in leadership positions in the workplace as well. Female representation in U.S. government positions and the number of women in business have sharply increased over the last three decades. While it's great to see women rising to the top, the natural inclination to put the needs of others ahead of themselves has an effect on women's health. Do we as women have it backwards? If you are in a leadership role as head of the household or boss lady at the office, it's important that you put yourself first. Keep reading to learn how to practice self-care so you're at your best. Aha Moment Do you ever find yourself feeling guilty for taking a few minutes for yourself? Because we as women are naturally very compassionate and caring toward others, we often forget to take care of ourselves. But we can't take care of others until we take care of ourselves first. In the book Perfectly IM'perfect, there's a chapter entitled What is Your Aha! Moment? The author wrote, "What started as this Aha! Moment became the beginning of a journey. Think about that for just a moment: it is the journey that leads to amazing things. The journey continues today, but as it began, I was re-evaluating my life and what I thought was important, and then taking it one step further -I became cognizant enough to change my path." As women, we sometimes need that "aha moment" to take a step back and put ourselves first. Self-Care Ideas What are some ways that we can indulge ourselves and recharge our batteries so we're able to take care of our families? Let's look at some. 1. Take Email Off Your Phone If you don't need to have email on your phone for work purposes, take it off your phone. If you can't do that, choose a time to turn off email notifications at the same time each night after leaving work. 2. Learn to Say No When something doesn't feel right, either in a personal relationship or with a client, say no. Don't allow it to keep you up at night. 3. Self Affirmations Write and re-write, "I am worthy, I am valued, and I am loved" five times a day every single day until it's engrained within you! 4. Choose One Self-Care Thing to Do Each Day Do at least one thing you enjoy or that is good for you each day. How about a nice bath or a walk outside? Read a good book, write in a journal, or have an at-home spa night with a face or foot mask. Non-Negotiable Self-Care Is it hard for you to put yourself first? It's time to become a woman rising and create a self-care routine. You will feel better, and it will show in how you approach your role at home and at work.
