Great Dames are kindred spirits with purpose
Welcome to Great Dames …
Great Dames is a community of smart and accomplished women who have a strong desire to use their individual and collective power to help others. We want to continue to grow, to share, and to leave a legacy. Most importantly, we want to forge meaningful friendships. Friendships with “kindred spirits” – people with whom we share a passion or desire to create change and improve lives. That change can happen within ourselves, but it is even more profound when we share it with someone else.
We’ve talked with a lot of successful women and asked them about their relationships with kindred spirits. They shared stories about the kindred spirits in their lives, and they described them in interesting and extraordinary ways …
A kindred spirit is someone who:
- is a soul mate
- “gets you” almost instantly and most of what we share with each other rings true in the other’s heart
- finishes my sentences
- believes in the same cause that I believe in
- is a really cool human being
- brings warmth, laughter and truth
- is working towards some of the same goals as I am
- shares my core values
- delights in each other’s ideas; embraces creativity and is willing to travel along unknown paths to unknown destinations
- person of my heart
- connects with me on a deep level even if we just met 15 minutes ago
- shares some strong value or experience that connects us
- makes me want to be my better self; someone I Iaugh with easily no matter how much time has passed
- who really understands how I think and works with me on developing who I am while I help develop who they are
- can see a similar vision in shorthand
We’d like to hear about the kindred spirits in your life. How have they impacted you? Where do you find kindred spirits and how do you sustain the relationship? Please share your stories with us.
