She's not loud about it. She doesn't need recognition. She just knows that if she makes sure there's warmth and food and order and beauty in this space, everyone in it can rest. Everyone can be themselves. And somehow that knowledge of her own purpose makes her unshakeable.

I used to think strength meant being seen and praised and acknowledged. But watching her, I understand now that the deepest strength is in knowing you're valuable even when no one is watching. In doing the hard, invisible work of building something that lasts.

I want to be like that. A woman who doesn't need to prove anything because she knows exactly what she's creating and why it matters 💝

Is that still ambitious? Or have I learned something about a different kind of ambition?
