International Women's Day (is today)

Today is a very special day. In honor of today's recognition of the women of the world, I would like to give the women of my world a small token of my appreciation. As I grew, I was molded by uniquely strong women. These women surely included my mother (who truly is the world's greatest), her three sisters, my sister, my cousins, and my grandmother. Together these women have shaped me, guided me, taught me, and challenged me to no end. Their unconditional love and support has given me the wings needed to soar and the roots needed for support. I thank them for everything they have given me! And, I love them more than words can say.

Also, there are women who have attracted my magnetic force and I just can't resist their pull. This magnetic force I feel for my girlfriends is also uniquely strong and undeniable. I would be a mushy mass of wrinkled skin if it were not for them, I would be lonely, I wouldn't understand how important a slow Sunday brunch really is, I would constantly be saddened by the injustice of the world, and I would never eat chocolate and laugh until it hurts. I would never be able to do what I do if I didn't get to share in what you amazing women do!

Cheers! to the mothers, the sisters, the aunts, the grandmothers, the cousins, the nieces, and the friends who truly make the world go 'round! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
