A note to our coastal leadership group…

I have been researching the 13 Grandmothers, wise women from throughout the world and found this quote from Grandmother Mona Polacca, a Hopi-Tewa member:

“Leadership is the highest spiritual calling, and as leaders, the starting point begins with you – managing your whole self – by utilizing the spirit that lies within your identity and the strength of your culture.”

Whenever I am with you I feel the satisfaction that comes from yearning fulfilled among caring, honest, intelligent people.  The exchange of knowledge and spirit seems to flow like water: a question here, a sharing of wisdom there, reflection among all of you.  Mutual respect and mutual influence means that we are all evolving–together.  We have emerged out of our separateness

into a self-organizing group of friends and colleagues.

Thank you for your friendship and mindfulness, Love, Linda
