"They are advancing with grace and resolve. Their eyes are fixed on the horizon, putting one foot in front of the other. Many are without resources and support, facing challenges and obstacles at every turn. And still, they, too, persist." -Jacqueline. Women today are embracing their own power and purpose, taking a stand and acting with intention. These stormy, uncharted times demand that we all stand up and exercise our power and voice for the better. Simple Purpose will introduce you to a diverse and courageous group of women who are recreating the world and their own lives. They have chosen, with determination and grit, to live their lives with true purpose; and are making a difference amidst the ebbs and flows of daily life. Each "ordinary" yet and simply remarkable woman is changing the world for the better in her own way, on her own terms. It is an indelible archetype that holds fierce women together and lights the way forward. A woman's purpose, whether as an individual or as part of a community or organization, is the wellspring of integrity and meaning she brings to whatever needs to be done. This inspiring book articulates how living with simple purpose means you declare your aspirations and journey toward a destination that is outside yourself, compels you to act, and binds you to others. Explore beyond the headlines and noise and meet these women up close. See what purpose means to them, how they found it, and you may find your own Simple Purpose, too.
