The pandemic was slowly seeping into our lives, and we were home a lot when I started getting the message to create this summit. It started off as nudges that I continuously ignored. But then the messages became frequent and more persistent. So, I created this Women’s Summit in 2020 to celebrate the many incredible women who are also our neighbours and to share some of their wisdom and inspiration during a time of lockdown and stillness. Covid has been a period of possibility and daydreaming of new futures. I wanted to help the women I knew and didn’t know to see that they, too, could pursue a dream and make a difference.
When I finally said “yes” to this inspiration, the trigger date to the completion date was only two weeks and four days. It came together like a dream and helped a lot of women. I’m still not entirely clear why I had to do it, though I have my suspicions. And I trust the universe completely.
