WW w/ linky: Rural Women Rock

Filed Under: Small Town Living Tagged With: , Leave a Comment

Today is a Wordy Wednesday for me as I am going to share why Rural Women Rock. But if you are still feeling wordless I understand. Below is a linky for you. Please visit at least 5 others of those blogs linked up. I read that suggestion on another blog last week and loved the idea of making sure visit to new as well as longtime favorite blogs. Last week Kasse Duffy featured me on Rural Women Rock (RWR). It’s best if you visit to see what Kasse shares on the blog with her vision and ideas for the future of this community. 



Basically, Kasse and I share a common connection, faith, passion and vision in and for women. It’s a community idea that is quickly growing. I think each and every female reader of this blog will connect to it. On the RWR blog, you can schedule a time for you to tell your story. I would like to read about each of you. 


This is the beginning of connecting and building a global community of rockin’ women that are passionate about rural and all it entails. For some, rural is our livelihoods; for others, rural is our dream; for still others, rural is in our roots. No matter the connection we have to rural, we share common values and have a passion to continue rural life. This group brings women passionate for rural together to share and connect.  We don’t all think the same, look the same and live the same yet we are uniquely connected because of our passion for rural. Together we can build and grow from each other. We are stronger as a community.



My passion for rural was instilled in me from the generations of women ahead of me that have laid a foundation for me to live and love rural family life.



Women in my family such as my Grandma Nola who celebrated her 60th wedding anniversary last Thursday with my grandpa, my Grandma Dorothy who was a generation ahead of her time, earning her college education as a single mom in the 1940’s and my mom who gave me the confidence and strength to keep going to get through the rough patches in life. Generations of women have empowered me.




I once was a frightened teenager with a college scholarship that became a mother at age 18. All I wanted to do was to run from the life that I knew to start a new one with my son.Yet today, 15 years later, I see that it was my rural roots and family that taught me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, embrace my circumstances and run with the opportunities given to me.




Today as a working mother of three and a wife trying to juggle family, marriage and a career while living in rural North Dakota, I have depended on a community of women I have connected with in social media to be my inspiration. Together we have formed true friendships and bonds. This group of women was the foundation of the idea of Rural Women Rock which now is now becoming an ever expanding community of rural women who are enriching each other’s lives, broaden perspectives and empowering voices as women.
Thank you to Kasse Duffy for running with the Rural Women Rock concept and idea.  Kasse’s energy and vision is inspiring. We’re partnering in this together as very different women, far from one another yet with similar passions and loves. The future is full of promise for this community of women. I’ve been saying we might just take over the world. We might. But for now, I want to get to know you, hear your stories, what makes you tick, your struggles, joys and connect you to more engaging and empowered women because Rural Women Rock. There is a great calendar feature on the blog that you can book your slot to share. I hope to read your stories soon!
