I have a bevy of Sisters in my life. Not the steal your sweaters, cut off all your barbie’s hair, never answer texts on time type (although I do have one of those who I also love to pieces), but ones of a religious order. I spent each Sunday for the first 14 years of my life with the Sisters of St. Joseph, taking for granted how they would enlighten my view of the world. As a child I became accustomed to seeing these women in roles of power and influence. Witnessing for myself the magic created when women come together and work towards not only a common goal, but the greater good. The success of their community relies on their respect for one another, their empathy and inimitable work ethic, which I would grow to accept as the status quo. In my adulthood I find myself dispelling myths and misconceptions about the lives these women lead. There is much more to them than the beautiful hymns they sing.
