A message from the YWY Founder: Ms. Sharon H. Smith
MY HEART IS STILL FULL...
Saturday night’s Expressions of the Soul: An Elegant Paint & Sip was nothing short of AMAZING! To hear the ladies say how much they loved the experience and ask, “When are we doing this again?” truly blessed my heart. ❤️
But what touched me most was watching women laugh, connect, exhale, pour back into themselves, and experience what YWY was created to provide. I even learned something about myself through my own painting.
In moments like this, I am reminded of just how blessed I am that God chose me to lead You Within Yourself. I don't take this assignment lightly, and I certainly don't do it alone.
To my YWY Team, YOU ALL SHOWED OUT! ❤️
The unity, love, excellence, and teamwork I witnessed last night was unmatched. You made every woman who walked through those doors feel seen, celebrated, and like the beautiful Queen she is.
Jammarrius, our COO, thank you for seeing the vision beyond just the event and helping me bring it all together. You created an experience not only for our guests, but for me and the other ladies of YWY as well. You are one special young man, and I cannot express enough how much you are appreciated by me and this entire organization. ❤️
Nicole, Desmarie, and Samantha, Ms. Sharon loves you ladies dearly! Watching you step in, take charge, work together, and handle the setup while allowing Jammarrius and me to focus on the finishing touches made me smile then, and I'm still smiling now! That's what a dynamic team looks like.
And above all, God, THANK YOU. 🙏🏽
Thank You for the vision. Thank You for the women. Thank You for the impact; and Thank You for surrounding me with a team that understands the assignment.
Expressions of the Soul wasn't simply an event. It was an EXPERIENCE. 💜
And from what these ladies are telling us, YWY, we may just have to do it again! 😊🎨🥂
When one woman wins, we all win. 💜
