**The Power of Connection and Purpose: A Day of Reflection**
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Today, I visited one of my favorite stores to pick up flowers for a remarkable woman in my life. As I stepped inside, I encountered someone I deeply admire—a single mother who raised her children with unwavering strength. Her daughter attended a Catholic private school, while her son chose public school and eventually became a high-ranking Navy SEAL, traveling the globe and now residing in one of our nation’s most stunning cities.
In that moment, gratitude washed over me. Our conversation felt divine, a connection orchestrated by fate. She embodies a motherly spirit, reminiscent of my own mother, who was a church missionary. This woman has devoted her life to uplifting others, including her impactful work in Flint, Michigan, where the scars of suffering still linger from the water crisis.
Her words resonated with me, especially after witnessing the tragic murder of George Floyd. It propelled me to return to school for a law degree. We need compassionate leaders who take action against injustice, who refuse to stand idly by as others suffer.
This inspiring woman, nearing 70, is pursuing her master’s degree, determined to leave a legacy of hope for future generations. Her commitment fuels my belief that we can all contribute meaningfully to society, no matter our age.
