Hello, Queens of FWN,

Thank you so much for the first Salo-Salo on January 24, 2009.  How timely it was as the next day was my 32nd birthday. 

Let me just say that I was sooo moved and proud to be Filipina after that event.  I left Intramuros feeling supported and loved.  Marily was just such a dynamic host for the panel and each woman in the panel was precious in their own light.  That's it, that's the word: Bayanihan.  My goodness, I am sooo moved and proud talaga.  We are soo funny and witty and loving as a people.  I got so much from each guest sharing on the mic.  That was such a wonderful idea (though I bet Table 1 had the jitters because they went first).

I was the one who said on the mic that I just came from this Workshop Series called "Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women" (specifically, The Queen Course).  In that Workshop, the leader asked us to complete this sentence: "My Queen is _______ like ________." And that night, I was present to that "My Queen is funny, witty, innovative, loving, turned on by life, generous, unbridled, sexy forces of nature like the women of FWN." 

Before this event, I convinced myself that I will not join FWN this year.  After going to Salo-Salo, I realized that it would be so silly for me not to be part of an organization that embodies so much of my values and love for the world. I just paid my $100 FWN dues today.

All my love and admiration,

Kathleen Ben
Woman who is "Satisfied" ;^)

P.S. I am so serious that I am a resource for those of you who are looking to have satisfying relationships with men (i.e. boyfriends, husbands, sons, fathers, co-workers, etc.).  I so would love to share.  For now, check-out www.understandmen.com.
