I talk a lot about ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴍᴀʀᴋ when it comes to L&I. ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴍᴀʀᴋ is a simple phrase, but one that's jam-packed with meaning and purpose. It means that we have a chance to create an impact. To stand out. To be women of influence - whether that's in our family, our friend group, our community, or halfway around the world. We never know how big of an impact we can be on someone's life. Just by taking the time to get to know someone, or extending a hand to help, or showing kindness in some way - the littlest actions that we can take can make a difference on someone's life.
⠀
An audio message I received (swipe right) from one of the beneficiaries that I worked with during my time in Rwanda, Africa last week reminded me of that. When I received the message, it was then I knew I had made an impact on her in some way and it filled my heart with happiness and gratitude. But while I may have fulfilled my wish of going to Rwanda to make an impact, I could have never predicted just how much the people there would make an impact on me.
⠀
Being back in America has been more difficult than I thought. I shared on my stories the other day how emotional I have been and I think it's because I saw a different side of mankind there during my time away. I learned just how much kindness can make the world go 'round and let me tell you, the Rwandans are incredible at showing how much they care. Years from now, I may not remember what they said, I may not remember what they specifically did, but I'll never forget the way they made me feel. When they smiled at you, you felt it in your heart. When they laughed with you, you felt connection. When they touched you, you felt their gratitude and compassion.
⠀
My hope is that we can learn something from the Rwandans. Be the reason someone smiles today. You never know just how much of an impact you can have💋
