Gratitude Focus: I am Grateful For Linda Huntspon

Reflection/Why I’m Grateful:

I may have met Linda once, but today, I saw her comment on my LinkedIn newsletter:

“I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the way you lead and inspire others. Your willingness to share your journey, your challenges, and your growth is a gift to those around you. By being open and vulnerable, you create a space where other leaders feel encouraged to reflect, improve, and lead with authenticity. Your wisdom and experiences remind us that leadership is not just about strength, but also about courage—the courage to be real, to learn, and to grow.”

As I write this, I’m listening to Martha Munizzi’s God Is Here:

“There is a sweet anointing in this sanctuary, there is a stillness in the atmosphere… come and lay down the burdens you have carried… for in the sanctuary, God is here.”

This song reminds me that we are not alone. Leaders don’t always share their struggles for fear of judgment, but God often speaks through people. We encourage each other best not just by sharing our struggles, but also by sharing how we thrive.
