Leave it to women to unite a nation that one man has divided.

Jenna and Barbara Bush have touched hearts across the country, and across party lines, with their letter to Malia and Sasha Obama. Although the farewell letter to the Obama girls was meant to serve as advice about post-White House life, it has quickly become a symbol of something more powerful: unity.

As we approach Donald Trump’s controversial presidency, women have become a beacon of hope, kindness and compassion. From Hillary Clinton’s rallying concession speech about fighting for what’s right to Meryl Streep’s inspiring Golden Globes message about diversity,  it’s women that are stepping up to mend the country’s wounds.

Despite the country’s conflicting political views, everyone seems to agree that the Bush sisters’ gesture of kindness is much needed and demonstrates the importance of putting differences aside.

Using their quotes, here are seven lessons from the Bush sisters’ letter that the ENTITY woman can learn from.

1 Remember the people who were there for you.

“Never forget the wonderful people who work at the White House. Our greeter as 7-year-olds at our grandfather’s Inauguration was Nancy, the White House florist, who ushered us in from the cold. She helped us make colorful bouquets of winter flowers for our grandparents’ bedside.

Twenty years later, Nancy did the flowers for Jenna’s wedding. Cherish your own Nancy.”

2 Let yourself have fun and make mistakes.

Entity shares Jenna Bush heartfelt letter of advice to the Obama sisters.

“Enjoy college. As most of the world knows, we did. And you won’t have the weight of the world on your young shoulders anymore. Explore your passions. Learn who you are. Make mistakes—you are allowed to.”

3 Find your people.

4 The people who judge you don’t love you.

“Those who judge you don’t love you, and their voices shouldn’t hold weight. Rather, it’s your own hearts that matter.”

5 Every experience teaches a valuable lesson. Every single one.

“Take all that you have seen, the people you have met, the lessons you have learned, and let that help guide you in making positive change.”

6 Travel when you can. It opens your mind to diversity, humility and compassion.

“Traveling with our parents taught us more than any class could. It opened our eyes to new people as well as new cultures and ideas.

We met factory workers in Michigan, teachers in California, doctors healing people on the Burmese border, kids who lined the dusty streets of Kampala to see the American President, and kids with HIV waiting to get the antiretroviral drugs that would save their lives.”

“You have listened to harsh criticism of your parents by people who had never even met them. You stood by as your precious parents were reduced to headlines. Your parents, who put you first and who not only showed you but gave you the world.

As always, they will be rooting for you as you begin your next chapter. And so will we.”
