FEBRUARY 2012 GREETINGS

Greetings in this still brand-new year of 2012!

Are you like me and haven't yet formulated your new resolutions and goals for this year? It's not too late, especially since we just celebrated the Chinese New Year on January 23, according to the Lunar Calendar.

Two weeks ago, I returned from Korea, where I was privileged to attend a series of New Year's celebrations, as well as the joint birthdays of our WFWP co-founders, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, who turned 70(!), and her husband, Rev. Sun Myung Moon, who celebrated his 93rd. They looked healthy and well, and reminded us that it is indeed time for women to take leadership, investing all we have for the sake of peace. Just like a mother who is in labor, giving birth to a child, it takes that kind of focus and effort to bring about positive change.

This year 2012 is also a year of celebration and acknowledgment, since it marks the 20th anniversary of WFWP International! Special celebrations will be held around the world, with the international one coming up in Seoul, Korea, from March 25 - 27. If you are interested in attending, please contact our New York office.

Here in the United States, mark your calendars: Our big event will be in Las Vegas from October 25 - 27. It will be entitled "The Turning Point - Women's Role in Bringing Peace in the 21st Century." Stay tuned for more information.

This issue of our newsletter is somewhat transitional, covering events from 2011 all the way into February 2012, since we are in the middle of creating new literature and materials for this year.

As you can see, 2012 will be a year of action - and hopefully also one of inner transformation as we seek to make our motto, "Living by the Logic of Love," real every day and every moment of our lives.

With warm regards,

Angelika Selle
