I remember sitting on a plane on my way to Kerala in India when an announcement came over the PA. “We want to honor all women today”, the pilot said. “Happy Women’s Day!” To say the least, I was happily surprised. Throughout the day, everywhere I went, I received small gifts of flowers, fruit, candy, and even a discount at a restaurant. I felt on top of the world.
The month of March is Women’s History Month and a time to celebrate all the women who make and have made a difference in your life. I want to give a big shout out to all the mothers, grandmothers, teachers, counselors, sisters, friends, and mentors who are showing up and adding their love, courage, and creativity to the world.
I totally appreciate what Ruth Bader Ginsbergs and Maya Angelous have added to the world; however, it is the everyday woman you meet in your life who can make the most difference.
My friends all remind me that I am enough and that I can just be me. They show up for me and I hope that I show up for them.
My clients inspire me to stretch my skills and constantly be open to new ideas.
My healers keep me on a path of wellness.
The creative women in my life (of all ages) show me the wonder of art, music, dance, and fashion.
The global teachers and priestesses I know have opened new doorways to Spirit.
My women in my spiritual community have given me the support I require to know that we are all connected and that it is safe to be vulnerable.
The manager at my local Gristedes supermarket Debbie, always makes me smile and feel special.
This list can go on for days.
So today I honor all women!
Until next time,
Barbara
