In June, the BeadforLife North American office took two days to reflect on the past year and plan for the coming year. To kick off the event, each staff member was asked to write down in 6 words, what BeadforLife means to them. We then took these heartfelt lines and used them to create a poem:
The BeadCircle helps me feel connected
Strength, compassion, learning, support, excitement, thankful
Hopeful amazed healing spirit bountiful potential
Part of something bigger than yourself
Empoweing women, Transforming Lives, Creating connections
One Man’s Paper, Another Woman’s Hope
Passion, hope, pride, ove, joy, gratitude
Friendship, caring, education, growth, joy, life
Joy, laughter, hope, change peace, beauty
Basic paper, basic needs, and balanced livelihood
Fulfilling love, dreams take flight
Gratitude, compassion, awareness, strategy, intelligence
Women connecting, caring, changing the world
Filling hearts by helping other women

The privilege of Awakening in Circle
