This past weekend I was fortunate to attend a Woman’s Event
at my church, this year is was called “Woman of Influence”, and I feel as
though it was the perfect title to the stage in life that I find myself in
these days. Although truth be told, we are all in that stage in life no matter
our age. During this event they had giveaways and if you won something you were
encouraged to whoop and holler in excitement, a 92 year old women won something
and she joined in and even gave a little dance. She dressed up in a purple
flowery blouse with a purple hat and her joy of life was evident, later I glimpsed
her with her walker which was also decked out. Her personality was vibrant and all I could
think about was how she was influencing so many of us in that very moment. WOW!

I was able to attend this event with a couple wonderful
ladies I love very much and in the moment you realize the influence they have
on your life. Momma Rachel (my best friends mom) and anyone else’s mom if you
so need her to be or my daughters other grandmother in my case. Her influence
has impacted my life for more than 15 years showing me her unconditional love.
Connie from Momma of Dos, is a woman of influence in the blogging
world leading and paving the way for so many bloggers that have followed her
footsteps. In so many ways a woman of influence showing me that hard work and consistency
pays off – follow your dreams and don’t let someone tell you it can’t be done
or that (worse) it’s a waste of time.
There is a good chance that she’ll take you up on that offer and show you otherwise.
What kind of influence are you? Do you inspire, encourage and love? Maybe you are a teacher, protector and nurturer - I hope you are and I hope you realize that years from now you’ll step
into the knowledge that you have inspired someone along the way.
