Since November 2006 I have had this vision of bringing a group of like minded women together of diverse ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds, for what I’ve been calling “A Meeting of the Minds.” Every time I tried to organize and set a date things just didn’t come together.
In May, I had an opportunity to discuss my vision with a very close family friend. Not only was she on the exact same page… She told me about a program she has called U Grow Girl! which focuses on cultivating empowerment.
Immediately the wheels started turning. (My friend Susan says I have a hamster running a mile a minute in my head lol…she’s right).
Anyway, to make a long story short it took from May to August to finally have a U Grow Girl Circle of Thought. Not everyone was able to show up but I couldn’t bring myself to postpone again, besides we are meeting again October 7th.
We had a very powerful and inspiring meeting. We discussed women’s issues, team work, unity, networking, the power of spoken words, and goal setting.
The power and energy we all felt is inexplicable. I know you might be looking at this picture wondering how and what kind of power we were able to achieve with 4 people, but if you’re familiar with “where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst“….you know….
What a wonderful idea and a great group of women to give birth to it! Grow on, girls!
Marenda,
You are such a wonderful example of an empowered woman! I am thrilled that we share the vision of seeing all women empowered. I look forward to a long and fruitful connection with you. Teamwork DOES makes the dream work! U GROW GIRL!
REWIND: Teamwork DOES make the dream work!
Marenda,
You are doing a good work, and it will return to you one-hundred fold.
Fondly,
Joyce
Marenda,
I, too, have been heavily empowered by the engaging topics we have at our U Grow Girl meetings. Being able to speak amongst other Christian women, in a “safe” environment, gives me and other group members the freedom to say whatever is on our mind. Marenda, continue being a blessing to those around you so that they may, too, be a blessing for others.
Just knowing how God works, your 4 members can have an effect on thousands.
What a fabulous group of empowered women! I know that your circle will bless you all immensely!
You are doing a good work!
