@joanstewart

For this week:

I learned in the last few months that change in one's life happens swiftly, no questions asked. Yes, we had Wills drawn up in 2018, now aware change may arrive again, and updating. Wills are something we all need no matter how young, or how little ones owns, we all work to pass onto the next generation or within a family.

1️⃣ Have you written up a Will and filed it, protecting your spouse and children? Take control of your estate, assets, or worldly possessions — make sure you leave behind to those you wish it to go to!

~ 𝐀𝐍𝐃 / 𝐎𝐑 ~

Chasing perfection is not progress. When opportunity allows watching young women perform on sports fields around the world, it is progress in performance, learning strategy, working together that's important. This brought me to consider how often as women we enjoy perfection and lose sight of progress required.

2️⃣ Successful women understand that perfection isn’t the goal — progress is. What steps are you personally taking to progress in 2025? Describe the situation, reasoning, and how you intend to set plans into motion.

The Hive blockchain uses UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
The contest ends each Saturday at 11:59 PM (23:59) UTC.

Even if should I have little in terms of assets a Will is a necessary part of a financial plan followed by an Enduring Power of Attorney. A Pre-need paid funeral plan is optional but saves a lot of tough decision making when the situation arises.
Believe me I'm well practiced at this.
Good Luck.

[rukyig]

This is a really good idea ,it's really great to see we women supporting each other

[ifarmgirl]

Great questions, Joan. These will make us ponder upon things that are often neglected or postponed. All the best, Ladies!

[mavisthemuggle]

I'm trying to expand my knowledge about hive communities and are checking here and there. I didn't know there's such a community like this. Am I allowed to join?

[consciouscat]

Hi @mavisthemuggle! It looks like the admins/moderators may not have seen your comment so as LOH Community Member, let say a resounding YES!

Ladies of Hive is open to all women (womxm) on Hive. Have a look around the Community. Read the rules. If they all sound reasonable (I think they are) then join away!

And write a post for this week's contest if you like either one of the prompts! Or... feel free to read, watch, follow along until you're comfortable =) You do you.

If you decide to write something in LOH feel free to tag me in a comment (or in the post itself) so I can support it.

Welcome!

[mavisthemuggle]

Thank you. I think I would join the contest. It sounded interesting. Can I also post random contents? I posted a Splinterlands content in another community and since the photos I used are black and white, I thought it's okay. They muted my post (not sure if they muted my account as well).

I just want to make sure before I post in here.

[consciouscat]

I don't post random things in LOH Community. I just write a post when I see that their weekly contest has a prompt that interests me.

I would recommend having a read through the rules for each community and follow them as closely as you can.

It's not too tricky, just takes a little time and care. And over time you'll find the communities that suit you best and you'll find it easy to post in there without any issues.

You got this!

[mavisthemuggle]

Yes, I will do that. Thank you again.

[elizabethbit]

Interesting questions @joanstewart! I'm looking forward to what the ladies have to say!

[silversaver888]

Good luck, ladies!

[cochanet]

Happy day, both questions are for reflection, I hope to participate again and express myself with you, while I prepare my introduction I take the opportunity to invite @proymet since it is good for improving, my dear @yole and @rosana6, I hope we can read each other this week. Blessings

Una semana de éxitos mis queridas damas. Interesante los temas para esta semana.

En los últimos meses aprendí que los cambios en la vida ocurren rápidamente, sin hacer preguntas. Sí, hicimos testamentos redactados en 2018, ahora somos conscientes de que es posible que lleguen cambios nuevamente y se actualicen. Los testamentos son algo que todos necesitamos, sin importar cuán jóvenes o pequeños sean, todos trabajamos para transmitirlos a la próxima generación o dentro de una familia.

1️⃣ ¿Ha redactado un testamento y lo ha presentado, protegiendo a su cónyuge e hijos? Tome el control de su patrimonio, activos o posesiones mundanas: ¡asegúrese de dejar atrás a aquellos a quienes desea que lleguen!

y / 𝐎

Perseguir la perfección no es progreso. Cuando se permite la oportunidad de ver a mujeres jóvenes actuar en campos deportivos de todo el mundo, lo importante es el progreso en el rendimiento, el aprendizaje de estrategias y el trabajo conjunto. Esto me llevó a considerar con qué frecuencia, como mujeres, disfrutamos de la perfección y perdemos de vista el progreso requerido.

2️⃣ Las mujeres exitosas entienden que la perfección no es el objetivo, sino el progreso. ¿Qué pasos está tomando personalmente para progresar en 2025? Describe la situación, el razonamiento y cómo pretendes poner en marcha los planes.

Están invitadas a darse una vuelta @numa26, @carolinacardozo, @purrix

Thanks, Joan. If the question around Wills was inspired by difficulties in your own life then I hope you're navigating this okay. !HUG
