Welcome to the World of the Pinwheel Girl! 

I’m so glad you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you. I would recognize you if we met. I am you. I am Every Woman.

Who is the Pinwheel Girl?

iStock_000009216888XSmall-blowing-on-pinwheelThe Pinwheel Girl is a new icon for womanhood who empowers women to be true to themselves, live the lives they love and want, and pursue their dreams fearlessly.

She offers encouragement through seven stages of midlife transitions and transformation – from the initial stages of confusion and despair through the middle stages of expansion to the final stages of clarity and redemption.

The Pinwheel Girl gently reminds women of the power of their inner voice and challenges them to share their uniqueness with the world. She was once a literal pinwheel stuck to a stick, spinning endlessly in a cycle of dizzying lifelessness. But then one day she decided it was time to stop spinning in one place. She jumped off the stick, unfolded her flaps and morphed into a universal female form.

She now follows the wind, a metaphor for the inner voice, and shares her poetic messages of empowerment, healing, affirmation, and life stages with women of all ages and life experience.

When we confront past choices, let go of painful memories, or forge a new path, taking that first step is always difficult.

But with perseverance, we can catch our stride and move along our path as we should. Take a look. There are teachers everywhere.

I hope what you find here will inspire you to contemplate the depth of your inner voice, the power of change and transition in your life as an unexpected gift, and the hope that always resides in your heart.

Hold on, even if it’s unfamiliar…help arrives in unexpected ways from the unexpected.
Stop spinning, jump off the stick, and fly with the Pinwheel Girl. I’ll meet you in the Sky! After all, that’s where your dreams reside.
