My adult life has centered around developing groups for various purposes. Leadership teams or groups for the purpose of accomplishing a task. Short term groups. Groups. Some have been healthy and some...not so much.
Those that are healthy are ones that begin knowing the purpose for being.
Last year, I met with a few ladies whom I respect the most in my town. I thought I was being selfish. I've realized I was being responsible. Taking responsibility for my own life, growth and future.
I love this group. Women who have integrity and who are hard working. Women who are direct, honest and truthful. Women who love passionately and want to serve God, family and community. Women who study, dig and challenge. Women of confidentiality and trust. Finally, they are leaders and women who want to grow in authenticity!
Together, we developed our group. It has become a sisterhood. We laugh, cry, dream, grieve and grow together.
This was a courageous act for all of us. To set aside time. To aside our covers and our protective barriers. To share openly and honestly. To grow in truth and grace. Our group year will end and we will be signing commitments for a new year. We have changed in unimaginable ways. We will ebb and flow and grow. We will always be a group!
I challenge you. Develop a group. Surround yourself with mentors and coaches. If you need some ideas for getting one together...just ask. If there is interest, I'll share how we began.
