Ailura, you are a legend!! I'll add the post in here right now!
@Heather225
Aww <3 thank you so much 😊 legend?? who?? me?? 😂❤️ tysm...!! 😅
A woman, I admire is the pastor at my church. Didn’t know, she was only 30. Close in age to me, I look up to her as an older sister and a sheep. She’s recently been transferred to London, but I know she’ll keep doing great things anywhere she goes. Patient, kind, caring and strong.
Thanks much for your patience and support.
I'm new here but I'm faster to learn more about it.
Thanks much
This month I'm feeling motivated to chase my goals and grateful for the people surpoting me. Excited to see what next..
"I want to be a good leader who adds value to those with big dreams and challenges like mine. I'll have your back until we level.
Thanks
@Heather225
I will be sure to post something in the forums soon 🩵🤗
thank you lovely 😍
This month, I've been reflecting on the strong women who've shaped my life—from family members to mentors. Their strength, kindness, and resilience inspire me every day.
I'd love to hear from you too: Who is a woman that has inspired or supported you? Let's celebrate them together this March
@Heather225
I hope you like my art 💚

I want to participate with The "Strength in Ink Marathon" event.
I’ll be hosting a dedicated thread :
- Everyone writes a "Letter of Strength" to their future self ,to a woman who needs encouragement right now or a thanking note for a woman with huge impact on you(your mother, your teacher,,,).
- Stop by and drop one "tiny" victory you achieved recently.
- A negative thought you’ve successfully "re-written" into a compassionate one for example: not having enough time helped me figure out which tasks are the most important and also manage my precious time.
- No pressure to share; just a space to be✨.
- After you write the letter you can choose to share it or simply share the moral "the golden rule" you learnt from it.
- Highlight your feelings and celebrate everyone else's !
==>Starting from 8th of March the Women's International Day until March 20th the International Day of Happiness the MARATHON continues to welcome participants.
- On March 20th I will host a session to celebrate all of the golden rules we collected.
I hope you like my idea and I would really love to get support with managing it.
