Once again we had our weekly zoom meeting, set up by the World Pulse Team so that we Ambassadors can come together and renew energy by being with each other for one hour. Thriving Thursdays began as a gift from the Team for us to meet once a month. Since the pandemic began we have been offered the chance to meet once a week. As usual today there were those of us who try not to miss any, and there were many who came for the first time or were able to come for the first time in a while, all of us so happy to be together. In the midst of this difficult work that we are all doing, Thriving Thursdays have become a highlight for us, to say hello, to see each others’ faces, to hear how each other are, and to share news and information. This week Anjana did a fabulous job in her first offer to be our MC. I did my best as Executive Producer with my two finger typing, aided as always by Dawn and Manasa, and with Zawadi doing beautiful translation into French.
Stella Paul was our Trainer this week. She led us through a really important and informative information on ways to protect our cell phones, by making sure we are not open to sites that cause us harm, through using wifi spots that don’t have passwords, by not regularly checking under Settings to check what Apps we have built up through our own searches and responses, and to keep our phones clean of excess or unfamiliar Apps we don’t need, to keep ourselves free from unknown sources that could be gathering data on us, or messing with us in various ways. She strongly advised us all to be very aware of the Apps we download, that we be careful to ensure the authenticity (the source and origin) of what we download, and that we always take great care to keep our passwords safe. She also described the importance of keeping an eye on our Bluetooth, and our GPS and to keep them off if not needed, as these allow others to track us. She advised us to be sure to control access of our phones, and relayed stories of betrayal when women have lent their phones even briefly. Her suggestions were to clean out any built-up Apps we no longer need or use, checking what has been stored on our phones regularly, even every few weeks, for security, and to close down Apps that might be sitting open and using up data unnecessarily.
She reminded us too, of the importance of passing on this information, especially as we continue to encourage women and girls to use cell phones to explore and stay connected with us all and with this world wide web. There is a wealth of information and possibilities that are out there, and this power of connecting with each other has never ben available to us until this recent invention. Stella’s slides of this important lesson are available now to our whole community. Thank you Stella, for this important walk through the inner workings of our phones, full of such possibilities, and now with such important information for our safety and for the safety of all we are helping log on.
As always it was hard to say goodbye. These meetings give us so much, these precious times to relax for an hour, to see each other, say hello, learn from each other and let the love flow.
Dear Tam,
Such a lovely summary of our time together yesterday! Thank you for so beautifully and so quickly sharing this with us. Can't wait till next time. Lots of love!
Thanks to you for suggesting that we send out news of our meetings. In this one Stella gave us all such important information on cell phone safety. And it is always a great chance to meet. Every time World Pulse sisters meet in all the ways we do, it is a celebration.
Awww this is so sweet :) see you online Tam ;)
I love that our connection with each other has grown in the different ways we have to meet!

Hello Tam,
Being new here, I have been trying to read as many stories as I can to get a glimpse of the dynamic organ that World Pulse is, and your summary on this meeting gave me an idea of the world of a digital ambassador.
It is also timely to have this invaluable information on how to be safe online with so much of our lives happening online.
Thank you for writing and sharing this with the rest of us at World Pulse.

Sister Tam,
Thank you for this summary that provided all the highlights. Indeed Thriving Thursdays is a space for growth, inspiration, care, and love. Each week there is an anticipation for what knowledge will be shared and when a session is missed it is deeply felt.
Let us keep thriving.
It is always a gift to be in the same "room" as you dear Sherna. Even more so as I have had the chance to meet you in person and witness the power of your voice.
What a perfect summary, Tam! Thank you for giving us this little chronicle of a powerful session <3

My Dearest Tam,
Thank you so much and its always a great feeling while we work together. It was inspiring and like a celebration while we are together world pulse sisters.
love and hugs, Anjana
Dear Anjana,
I feel so lucky to be with you all on thriving Thursdays.
Yes, my dear Tam. I too feel so lucky to be associated with this amazing group.
Last time's Thursday Thrive on unpaid care work was one of my emotional session. I was very touched with everyone's sharing about their mothers, feeling speechless. Each and every moment, i was missing my mother, whom i lost in my childhood.
Actually, i wanted to respond to everyone's sharing on mothers. But I was considering the time and also I was not being able to read all the comments in the chatbox, so I was not able to paraphrase. You all are really amazing. I really appreciate all of you. My daughter was so inspired and impressed with you all.
Please take care and stay safe dear Tam.
love and hugs, anjana
Thank you for this Recap. It feels like I wasn't there. I really missed out but you nailed it as you captured the whole event. Keeping it real with the world pulse sisters is more precious than gold.
The Ambassadors are doing an amazing job. Thank you for sharing!

Félicitation et courage ma sœur
La même chose pour toi chère soeur, c'est un tel cadeau d'être en contact!
Hello Sis Tamarack,
What a informative meeting full of important information. In this digital Internet, cyber , etc world there is a lot of powerful positive information and people networking that we all have access to and unfortunately we have the same if not more not so positive energy and corrupt people taking advantage of the good we hope to aide in this world. With all the new applications, apps and technology launching everyday, it's not really possible to keep up with it all.
Thank you for sharing World Pulse sister Stella information to us all. It is a blessed way of keeping us safe and protected. Stay blessed and safe and have a super Friday and upcoming weekend.
sincerely,
Mama Queen
