I have been meeting with great men and fabulous women, over the past few days, in the state of Texas. I am so impressed with the sense of inclusion and openness to support one another. I am truly pleased with every meeting, every appointment and especially the new associations that I know will be life long!
There is a saying by the former Governor of Texas, Ann Richards, “I have a very strong feeling about how you lead your life. You always look ahead, your never look back.” This quote resonates so profoundly with me. So many people are looking ahead and not looking back.
As I have met women, defining themselves, all over the regions I find myself in, I am so inspired when I find those who have lived lives that, for most people, would have them throwing in the towel, giving up and blaming who ever they could for the challenges they have faced. Quite the contrary, I have found women who are resilient, empowered and ready to adapt to and flex with whatever might come their way!
So this week as we think about defining:ourselves, let us look to the women next to us, the women in our circles, the women that we influence and the women that influence us and be reminded that examples of strength are all around us. There are women everywhere looking ahead and not back!
How will you define:yourself as? Always looking back? Always wishing and hoping? OR will you be the woman who always looks ahead!
You are so brilliant, talented and lovely just as you are! Please take this week to look ahead and go for it! Life is short and too long for that matter, to waste another moment looking back! Are you ready?
Let’s GO!
Thank you Texas for your love, your acceptance, your hospitality and your spirit! I am privileged to be an honorary member of your community!
Looking AHEAD….
