International Women’s Day

Here’s to the women who have shaped my life and influenced me. Here’s to the women who continue to struggle against enormous odds to raise their children, lead their communities, spread compassion, and bring joy to life. Here’s to the women who never stop even when they are tired and discouraged. Here’s to the women who teach, heal, mentor, praise, inspire, encourage, and work for justice. Here’s to the women in the arts, the women in the justice system, the women in education, the women in medicine, the women in politics, the women in the church. Here’s to women everywhere on this Internation Women’s Day.
