ACW Conference

Last week I had the opportunity to spend some time with the women of the Anglican church Woman (ACW) within the Diocese of the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands at their annual ACW Conference under the theme - "Women of Strong Faith; Enlarging Our Territory." During my time with these lovely ladies, we looked at "Stretching Towards Stronger Sisterhood.' In our time together we looked at the joys, and sometimes the challenges of friendships. We also looked at how to be a good Sister-Friend. We are hardwired for connection and special friendships can make all the difference not only in support but also in joys. Here is a little bit from my top 5 list on how to be a good Sister friend. 

1. Show Up. Even in Small Ways
2. Listen to Understand, Not to Fix
3. Celebrate Without Comparison
4. Respect Emotional Boundaries
5. Be Honest with Kindness
6. Don't Just Pray for Her - Pray with Her

Books referenced during my chat:

• Sisterhood Heals by Dr. Joy Harden Bradford
• The Awakened Woman by Dr. Tererai Trent
• Daring Greatly by Dr. Brene Brown
