On March 8th, 2020 we celebrate International Woman's Day. Or I hope we celebrate it as women are incredible and not recognized enough. That it is 2020 and we are still fighting for women's rights in parts of the world blows my mind.
That caregivers, mothers, people that put their children first are often putting themselves and society helps last. That we still don't recognize the virtues that women have to offer and that they are often discounted as less than "male virtues".
That when women stand up for themselves and others they are often treated as aggressive not assertive, even by other women. I have found that women are often the worse critics of other women! Please there is enough for all of us out there. Don't begrudge anyone making it happen.
So for International Woman's Day my hope is for support, encouragement, compassion and empathy. That not only do women stand with and for other women, we stand up for everyone that needs us and needs a voice.
