We are Women filled with compassion and love and empathy, and that is power. Join us this week with Community Connector Valentine Svihalek founder of Art Connect Women and Art Connect Society. That is a beautiful power, a power that can heal our world. I recall laying in the foetal position on the shag carpet of our living room. Clutching my swollen, pregnant belly and weeping; the baby would not stop stirring. How could this baby deal with the intense amount of emotion and grief? I felt like I could never recover from this intense loss. A thread tethered and severed, no longer holding me to my mother. Yet somehow, unexpectedly, through the throes of grief, I found strength. Strength for my own newborn baby. My mother could never be replaced, but she lived on through me, and she will live on through my children. My hands have purpose now, just as my mother’s did, just as her mother’s did and hers before that. My hands gently stroke the soft head of my last baby, as I sing him a quiet lullaby and whisper the secret I reserve only for them—that every parent knows—there is nothing in this world you could ever love more. Our love, our compassion for our children is a power capable of saving humanity; women full of compassion and love and empathy, we are the key. Women are the salvation for the world. I know it in my heart. “We are here to fully introduce ourselves, to impose ourselves and ideas and thoughts and dreams onto the world, leaving it changed forever by who we are and what we bring forth from our depths. So we cannot contort ourselves to fit into the visible order. We must unleash ourselves and watch the world reorder itself in front of our eyes.” – Glennon Doyle We are Women filled with compassion and love and empathy, and that is power.
