It’s International Women’s Day! Thank you to all the women in my life who have helped shape me into the woman I am today, especially my mother. Today, I wanted to show my appreciation to women all over the world for the things we do effortlessly and selflessly.
For my fellow women..
Motherhood; something women do so effortlessly. The maternal instinct that naturally kicks in to carry life into this world and nurture that life into the realities of this world, keeping them as innocent and naive for as long as humanely possible. How you are so selfless to dedicate the remainder of your life to the children you bear.
Sacrifice; The way in which women sacrifice so many things in life. From our last name, our bodies, our dreams, our careers, time with our children & loved ones, self care, the list is endless.
Independence; Although international womens day is focused solely on social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women – I want to appreciate how far women have come. Women everywhere are showing how they are breaking barriers.
Strength & Courage; I admire the strength women have. The ability to handle almost everything and anything. Again, to be able to give life, I am certain women around the world can do anything.
