Today I hosted our first orientation meeting for the Women’s Anthology project… I am beyond excited and so grateful for these women. Their enthusiasm and passion keeps me going. Their experience and courage gives me hope. In a world of darkness, their light… our light shines so bright.
I wanted to pass on an inspiring quote that was shared with me today during our meeting… which is so relevant to our book and the message I would like to spread. When meeting and greeting others, try coming from a space of non-judgement, and perhaps even compassion. Be open and turn to wonder. Focus on sameness. Recognize how we are connected. Realize that we are all one…
From Marianne Williamson’s A Woman’s Worth:
“…My ego will try to argue that the person must be guilty of something, but my heart will recognize that his or her success is my success, if I can allow myself to applaud instead of criticize and bless instead of condemn.”
To the writers and readers of this project, to all who contribute to this journey ahead… my heart thanks you a million times over.
