A Hundred Splendid Lessons

Selene Kinder says,

‘I wish that more women realized that helping another woman win, cheering her on, praying for her, or sharing a resource with her does not take away from the blessings coming to them. In fact, the more you give, the more you receive. Empowering women doesn’t come from selfishness but rather from selflessness’ 

 

A true believer and follower of the quote “We rise by lifting each other”, I started the #WonderWomen segment on A Rustic Mind with the intention to let ordinary, everyday women feel special and get their stories read. An initiative started with this simple thought, has today, hit a century!

Yes, on 1st June, 2020, I achieved the milestone of having featured 100 #WonderWomen on the blog. I’m proud of this feat and am so grateful to the women who trusted me with their stories. From architects to artists and home decor experts, from bakers to designers and crafters, from writers to authors and poets, I feel privileged to have got to know and interact with women from various fields of work.

A few of them agreed to share some of their pearls of wisdom yet again, so here’s a little flashback to some of the best from our family of 100!
