Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night with amazing inspiration about the direction your life should be going and what your purpose is? Well, last Saturday night was that moment in time for me. I was simply trying to get some rest when a jolt of answers evaded my somber, and I awoke with a strong current of excitement. I could hardly contain myself and I ran to my computer, and thus gave birth to "the idea" of Africa. At church, I could hardly wait to tell my most beloved and cherished friends about "the idea" and how it could help us all attain our inner desire to serve, love and offer compassion. I sat in the pew behind Ingrid and I whispered to her, "I got inspiration about Africa, last night!!" She was so excited!! She said she would come over on Monday and we could talk. Monday was a collaboration of more ideas. She was on board right away and was able to provide more insight and direction. She was instrumental in connecting me with the right women that could offer assistance to our cause. The idea of the blog belongs to Ingrid. "The Idea" of Africa belongs to all woman, no matter your age, race, religious affiliation, educational background, or economic status. The empathy and heartache we feel as women can be overwhelming when we witness so much poverty, when we see so many emancipated bodies with diseases, and when we hear of so many acts of brutality - against humanity. These images evoke and ignite a powerful emotion within every woman. It's time we did something about it! Let's start mothering Africa, she needs our tender care.
Welcome to our Journey,
