Love Signs For Fran :)

Last week, we wrapped up our second 28-day Laddership Pod. One of the most touching highlights from this collective journey came in our final week:

Before our penultimate group call, Fran, one of our pod volunteers, informed us that her mother was in hospice and she was told that she would likely pass sometime that day. Very sweetly, she said, "I'm not sure I'll be able to make the morning call -- but if there's a round two in the evening, I can make that!" Of course, we told her to go be with her mom, and not even think twice about it! Separately, at the end of our group call, we held silence for Fran's mom and her family.

A few hours later, we learned her mom had passed away.

Given the big-hearted person Fran is, we all wanted to send some love. But how? Turns out, we didn't need to look farther than our own Laddership Pod for the answer:

In a time when the world seems to be more at odds than ever, what a gift it is to know so many of you in so many corners find small and large ways to choose love.

What an inspiring video, inspired by Fran's mom. Fran, I send you, Reza, and your whole family so much love. Thank you for always being such a light for me. I'm willing to bet that your mom was a bright light too, since she raised someone like you. Love, Bonnie

This was the most amazing loving experience of my entire life. It was beyond my imagination. My mother and I were the recipient of such a gift of generosity and kindness from amazing beings around the world. I know my mother's soul is touched by such kindness. She was a strong, resilient woman who appreciated loving kindness. Thank you so much. My heart is filled with love. All I know is that I want to be like this for somebody else. I want to move somebody else like I was moved. I'm so grateful.
