She is Prepared
She had been ready for this moment all of her life
It was obvious to her that things would have to change
Everything that she researched, contemplated and tried to follow was flawed
Economically, physiologically, emotionally, financially
She had had to find a way
A way to save the world where kindness, compassion and empathy were the drivers
Where humanity, equity, wellbeing, fulfilment and happiness were the wealth
She searched and searched
She tried and tried
She tested and tested
And she grew stronger
She grew more sceptical of how the world was being run
She had doors shut in her face
Went unnoticed
Unseen, unheard
And she became afraid
Afraid for her self and humanity
Afraid for the children
Afraid for the animals
Afraid for the planet
And then she became angry
And that made her stronger again
She was angry at greed, injustice
Inequality and doctrine
The lack of equity
And the fact that she knew she was not the only one who thought that the world should be a better place
So she made a promise
Not an ordinary promise
But a promise in her deepest core
That she would do everything she could to make it happen
So she gathered all of the women
From all over the world
And shared her story, her message
The philosophy of purpose
For, if she could share this with women
Women from every creed and culture
Women who, like her, wanted to make the world find a better way
From doing what they loved and what they were good at
Then they, in turn, could share the message with others
Kindly, compassionately and like warriors they prepared
They were united
They had found their purpose and were living it
Warrior women, healer women, leader women
Caring women, business women, spiritual women
Who were certain of who they had become
And changed the world forever
