“Any time women come together with a collective intention, it’s a powerful thing. Whether it’s sitting down making a quilt, in a kitchen preparing a meal, in a club reading the same book, or around the table playing cards, or planning a birthday party, when women come together with a collective intention, magic happens.” -Phylicia Rashad
I love seeing this. I’m inspired by the way that women come together and keep us moving forward. I’ll tell you, a couple of years ago, I was (secretly) having a rough time adjusting to my job. This woman whom I adored for her ability to light up the room and her ability to accept everyone for who they are, came in with her much-loved house plant. And this was a mature plant. “I think of her as a mama plant,” she told me. Her gift immediately brought tears to my eyes. It lifted my spirit. And the fact that she trusted me with a plant she had nurtured for years made me feel so honored. I don’t know what moved her to bring the plant that day, but it turned my whole week around. I still have that mama plant. She’s thriving in my sunniest window.
