A Morning with Joyce Penner: Women and Sex

Yes, ladies, you read that right! The 'S' word was the hot topic at PazNaz MOPS this week as Joyce Penner, R.N., M.N., Clinical Nurse Specialist spoke about ways to embrace our sexuality as moms. Using a very informative hand out as a tool, she journeyed through the "8 Penner P's" with us, giving us tools for keeping the connection with our spouses alive. (Click here for a copy of the hand out). She and her husband, Dr. Clifford Penner, have written a number of books and have put out several DVD's dealing with the topic of healthy sexuality. We are so privileged to have been able to hear Joyce speak as she gave us some very helpful insight into such important, yet often overlooked issues in relationships. For more information about Dr. Clifford and Joyce Penner, please visit their website at www.passionatecommitment.com.

In case you missed the meeting, we announced some of the events coming up, as well as some things that you can participate in as part of the MOPS community. Also, make sure to check out the pictures from last week's meeting below. We had such a nice time!

    I loved our topic on Friday. I think we need to be a little bold at times and talk about the real issues in our lives.
