March 2017

March is #WomensHistoryMonth, an annual declared month that highlights the contributions of women in events in history and contemporary society. It is celebrated during March in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. This time is set aside to recognize the significant role women play in our world and so I began to reflect on the role different women have played in the story of my life. 
  • My mother who taught me about perseverance and moving forward despite life’s hardships.
  • My grandmother who believed in me, encouraged and supported me in achieving what seemed to be unattainable goals. She also gave me a great love and appreciation for finding God in nature.
  • My daughter, Catherine, who has taught me about the rewards of taking risks and stepping out in faith.
  • Mrs. Betty Ford whose courage to speak out about her addictions gave me the courage to face my own addictions and seek help.
  • Frances Hesselbein, my 100+ year old mentor and role model, who has taught me so much about leadership. (Leadership is about how to Be not how to Do)
  • My spiritual directors who guide me with grace and love.
  • And talented and hardworking co-workers who always go the second mile for children, are committed to excellence, and work sacrificially to make the world a better place than they found it.
There are many others I could mention but space limits me to these few. This proved to be a meaningful exercise and I encourage you to spend a few minutes this month reflecting on the women who have imprinted your life. They may never be recognized on the national “Who’s Who” list but they, and their contributions, are no less significant. And, as you facilitate groups, teach students, and walk with other women who care about kids remember you are imprinting lives in ways of significance you may never know.

Keep up the good work!
