Today marks the 100th International Women's Day. There are events worldwide in cities, towns and villages. You may not have participated in an event but probably (or perhaps once you've read this) you've had a moment or two of reflection. About the women you live with, the women who raised you, the women you work with, the woman you hope to become or hope your daughters or nieces will become.
Canada's Theme for IWD this year is 'Strong Leadership.Strong Women.Strong World:Equality' Here are a couple quotes I've seen that fit well. (thanks Sharon)
The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.
Roseanne Barr
I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.
Rebecca West
There is so much more that could be said. My personal note here is a Thank You, to the women I am fortunate to be surrounded with.
Their differences and similarities influence me and enrich my life in so many ways.
They are all Beautiful. Strong. Unique. Independent. Kind. Incredible.
And I believe that I am no exception. We all have phenomenal women in our lives.
