This past weekend sisters from all over the nation gathered to participate in the biannual Sisterhood Retreat 2011, The Ultimate Challenge! At retreat we were dared to change and dared to be different by reflecting on our life both as a Woman of Distinction and as a Woman. One of the toughest things about change is recognizing that we need it in order to move forward. Change does not only apply to our sisterhood, but to our lives as well. I was blessed with the opportunity to be a retreat facilitator and it was certainly what I expected: a very moving and empowered experience. We all gathered as sisters and shared with one another our experiences, our thoughts, our words. No matter how far or near we are, we share some very similar stories. It is a blessing to know that I can visit any part of the country and at least one sister will volunteer to host me at their home. Moreover, I walked away from retreat knowing that we are all WOMEN OF DISTINCTION. One of the things that I encouraged my group of sisters, the PINK ROSES, to do is to be different by fulfilling their dreams and their goals. In fact, I posed the question, " What do YOU want to do?" Just as my sisters and I encouraged one another to step out of the shadows and embrace our mission, I too encourage you to embrace your dreams and follow them unto the path of empowerment. We all need to empower one another in order to ensure that we fulfill our life missions and purposes. I believe in you, I know you can do it. Don't give up as this is only the beginning. It will get harder, but I guarantee that all of your sweat, blood, and tears will pay off in the end. So today I dare you to be different by empowering someone around you. You may just make someone's day. HERMANAS POR VIDA, SISTERS FOR LIFE.
