Sometimes, I feel like I live in a bubble. I may be jinxing myself here, but I have the most positive experiences with my current career. And women, for the most part, are responsible for that.
I hear and read stories of the negativity that looms and attacks, one woman to another. I also have seen it written more than once that you haven’t really become successful until you have haters. That is whack.
I don’t feel naive. I feel lucky. I feel surrounded by women who do their thing, whatever it is, and do it to the best of their ability. They share. They support. They make their world beautiful with craft or words or children.
I don’t want to misrepresent reality. My world, and I’m sure the world of these women, is not all rainbows and butterflies. We have moments of self-doubt, resentment and crankiness. It’s what we do with these emotions that express who we are.
I find it amazing that I can ask someone to help me whom I’ve never met and she comes through with willingness and grace. My moment: I’m overwhelmed with this positivity and proud of the way women are.
I hope you’re in my bubble.
It really is big enough for all of us.
