International Women’s Day—— a day celebrated in many countries around the world and is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethic, linguistic, cultural , economic or political.  

As a woman and a mother of a daughter I have always been a believer in lifting up other women, not only on this day, but always!   I want to celebrate the fire in our souls and the grace in out hearts. 

I want to acknowledge our strength and integrity.  I want us to all find our purpose in this life and not apologize for being smart, or funny or driven!  I want to us to embrace our pain, sit in it, understand it and then be prepared ……because the comeback from it is so much stronger than the setback.  Also, always love yourself, and be yourself, be present , and go out and live this blessing of a life!!!!!

“The women that I love and admire for their strength and grace did not get that way because everything in their life has worked out.  They got that way because of everything that has gone wrong and they handled it!!!!!!!

They handled it in a thousand different ways on a thousand different days, but they handled it.
Those women are my superheroes!!!!”

– Elizabeth Gilbert
 

“The beauty of a women in not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way that she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes because that is the doorway to her heart , the place where love resides.

True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.  It’s the caring that she lovingly gives and the passion that she shows.  And the beauty of a woman only grows with the passing years.”

 – Audrey Hepburn
