Have Fun Do Good Book - Moonrise: The Power of Women Leading from the Heart

Each year I post a list of favorite Have Fun Do Good books. I have a feeling Moonrise: The Power of Women Leading from the Heart will be included this year.

Moonrise is a collection of 37 pieces by women leaders (and a handful of men) edited by Bioneers cofounder, Nina Simons, with Anneke Campbell.  Each essay, or transcript of a panel discussion, is a perfect nugget of inspiration to read before you start, or end your day.

Contributors include Big Vision Podcast interviewees:

• Anna Lappe, author of Diet for a Hot Planet
• Jensine Larsen, founder of World Pulse
• Melinda Kramer, founder of Women's Earth Alliance
• Kavita Ramdas, former President of the Global Fund for Women

Some of the contributors I'll be adding to my Big Vision Podcast interview wish list include:

• Lily Yeh, author of Awakening Creativity: Dandelion School Blossoms
• Rachel Naomi Remen, author of Kitchen Table Wisdom and My Grandfather's Blessings
• Judy Wicks, founder of the White Dog Cafe, and cofounder of BALLE
• Latifah Simon, executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area
• Kathy LeMay, author of The Generosity Plan
• Jessica Rimington, founder of One World Youth Project
• Cheryl Charles, cofounder of Children and Nature Network, and coauthor of Coming Home: Community, Creativity and Consciousness
• Sofia Quintero, author of Divas Don't Yield and cofounder of Sister Outsider Entertainment

If these women's stories inspire you to tap into your own leadership qualities, you may want to apply to attend a Cultivating Women's Leadership workshop led by Nina Simons and Toby Herzlich.  The deadline to apply for the June 23-28 workshop at Ocamora Retreat Center in Northern New Mexico is May 6th, so don't delay!
