Welcome!

Welcome to "Ambrosia Speaks", a blog created specifically for Women's Leadership Institute (WLI) past and current participants to share your stories, memories, letters, "What Makes Me Awesome" lists, and "30 second commercials". Whenever WLI women are given the opportunity to write, the results are eloquent, passionate masterpieces.

The blog is called "Ambrosia Speaks" because, in ancient Greek mythology, Ambrosia is known as the food of the gods. It comes from the word ambrotos, meaning "immortal". Ancient Greek mythology states that ambrosia was brought to the gods by doves, so it is thought of as a divine exhalation of the earth.

In our writing and the sharing of our thoughts, we are like ambrosia, in that our words become immortalized, and are the exhalation of the thoughts and feelings in our souls.

I hope you, the divine women of WLI, use this space to share your internal beauty with the world!

Love ya,
Ms. G
