"This circle of women is what young girls need to strengthen their confidence, self-esteem and worth." — Marlo Y. Ettien
I think every young girl needs a circle of women in her corner. She will make better choices because of having a circle. These women watched your daughter grow, and it is their pleasure to be a member of her circle, influencing and still watching her development. Over the years, how your daughter reacted to these women is how they were selected to be in her circle. These are women of strong character and resolve, beyond reproach — women who are honest and comfortable sharing their truth with your daughter. Truth that will help mold her character.
It is your daughter who helps you choose her circle. The mother sees something of herself in these women — loving women the mother relies on to build her daughter's community. These are women who offer your daughter advice they would give their own daughter: advice about hygiene, money, school, boys, and anything your daughter feels she can trust them to ask about. It has taken part of your daughter's young lifetime to build her circle. Building your daughter's circle is not a careless act. Your mother, having the foresight to even think about you needing a circle, is amazing. Just the fact that these women agree to be in your circle speaks to the love and respect your mother has with them. It is their honor to be a member. These women are chosen particularly based on their station in life — they are succeeding, and are fine examples as women. When your daughter must make a difficult decision, she can think of the women in her circle she can rely on for advice.
Your daughter having a circle of women in her life should be a relief to a mother. All the years of experience these women carry is a treasure trove your daughter can look to. Some of these women have lived some of what your daughter is experiencing and can help her because of the wisdom gained. Some of their instructions can lighten the load of what your daughter wants to experience that may not be the right choice — and that takes the burden off the mother. A weight is relieved.
