I received this lovely email from Betty Liedtke, one of the 40 female entrepreneurs featured in the new book Fearless Women, Fearless Wisdom, by Mary Ann Halpin. Rather than edit it, I felt it extremely important to share Betty’s words as they were written. We never know where something amazing is waiting when we share it.
I am SO excited about this! I have to share some more info with you about Tabitha Kyambadde, the friend of mine from Uganda who was so inspired when she heard me speak about the Fearless Women book after I got back from Dallas. I met with her this morning after our Toastmasters meeting and she told me that she sent the Fearless Women book she bought to her daughter in Uganda, and her daughter has shared it with many of her friends. In fact, Tabitha bought and sent her a second book because her daughter wanted to keep her own but have another one to share. EVERYONE there wants a copy! :>
But what excited me the most while Tabitha was telling me all this (actually–what caused me to start shaking, and just about brought me to tears) was when she said that all the women in Uganda who have seen the book are so inspired by all of us in the book, and by our stories. They related to all of us, and to the different things we have gone through in our lives. Tabitha said they all told her daughter, “These women are just like us.”
Doesn’t THAT choke you up??!! Tabitha’s dream (one of them; she’s got some fearless, brave, and AMAZING dreams that she has already started putting into action) is to inspire all the women in Uganda to see what they are capable of, and what is possible for them. She said to me that she wishes WE could all go to Uganda and speak with the women there.
Wouldn’t THAT be a trip!?
I’m sharing this with you for a number of reasons. One is simply to point out again what a powerful effect this book is having on women (and men!) literally all over the world. Another is to sing your praises once more (especially YOU, Mary Ann!) and thank you again for being part of this movement and for allowing me the privilege to be among you.
And also, I know that miracles and magic are happening because of this book (miracles and magic are part of my Dream Coach knowledge, training and experience, too :>), and I am putting this out there with the hope, the dream, and the prayer that some–or all–of us will be going to Uganda with Tabitha so that we can share our stories, our lives, our experiences and our Fearless Wisdom with the many Fearless Women there. I’ve no doubt that we will all come back even more inspired by their lives and experiences, and by the stories and Fearless Wisdom they share with us in return. And who knows what would happen from there!?
