Lately, I have been reading a lot about honey bees and hive mentality. An individual bee is somewhat fragile with a short lifespan - maybe 20-60 days. Collectively, they support a hive that could last years and years. The individual bees are mortal, and they depend on each other to survive. The interdependence makes the sum far greater and tougher than the individual. It is more important that the community is strong, not just one bee. The same is true in any team. -Amy

March is Women’s History Month! ?? Each March, we honor the remarkable achievements, resilience, and contributions of women throughout history — from the pioneers who broke barriers to the women shaping our world today. Did you know? Women’s History Month traces its roots back to 1981 when Congress first authorized Women’s History Week. By 1987, it was expanded to a month-long celebration, recognizing the vital role women have played in American history. This month, let’s celebrate the stories, voices, and leadership of women across industries, cultures, and communities — and continue to uplift and inspire future generations. ???? #WomensHistoryMonth #CelebrateWomen #StrongerTogether #WomenInHistory
