Hey blog! Gibs here! Can I just say that this month was full of strong WOMEN?! As a Meredith College alumna, I think it’s fair to say that this month was Meredith strong, if you will.
I started off February strong with strep throat and a speeding ticket. Someone was praying on my downfall and they succeeded! But, I was an avenging angel and rose from the ashes and still ended up having a pretty great month. #blessed.
Despite my strep and speeding ticket (totally unfair by the way), the Career Calling Vocation Retreat was a huge win in my eyes. Our king, Cameron, really helped us see our strengths and helped us navigate what we’re looking for in a career. Update: I am torn between being a social worker and a hair stylist. A hairapist? We’ll see.
The best part of February was the Women’s Retreat! I met the most AMAZING women that weekend and felt so connected to the community at Apostles. I sat with the coolest women at my table which included: Lauren Mann, Allie Benson, Anne Parker Huret, Shannon Newby, Robbie Litke, Gretchen Bartholomew, and Virginia Lundeen. What a squad. To hear part of their stories and what they have to say was a huge blessing. I just think women are the absolute coolest. What would we do without them?
Another fun thing about February was BOLASH CAFE! I have heard tales about this event all year long and I FINALLY got to experience it! Kind of like any event at Meredith, I can’t explain it. You just have to experience it.
I wanted to add that along with really enjoying my job at Refugee Hope Partners, I really enjoy working with HUNTER DAVIS (aka Ms. Hunter). I have the privilege of sharing an “office” with her throughout the week and making Walmart trips every Thursday to get inventory for RHP. We share so many laughs and have the best time on the clock. I truly don’t know what I would do without her at work. All of my coworkers at RHP are amazing, but I would have to say that Hunter is my favorite.
February was a pretty cool month. Here’s to March!
