Today is International Women’s Day and we have come a long way with more goals to accomplish. While this day has been celebrated since the early 1900s, its history has been fraught with setbacks and denials. But, we are tough and the journey continues. The quotes above and below express my many wishes for our gender and for the human race.
“If I could be granted a wish, I’d shine in your eye like a jewel.” Bette Midler

All of us wish we’d had perfect childhoods, with a mother and father who modeled ideal parental attitudes and taught us to internalize the tenets of self-love. Many of us, however, did not. Marianne Williamson
Of course I believe imaginative architecture can make a difference to people’s lives, but I wish it was possible to divert some of the effort we put into ambitious museums and galleries into the basic architectural building blocks of society. Zaha Hadid

I certainly used to wish that I was skinny, lighter-skinned, with long, pretty hair. But only because I used to get made fun of for being the absolute opposite. I didn’t see all of that stuff as the American Dream. I just wanted to look normal. Now that I’m older, I really do feel like I am a beautiful girl. Gabourey Sidibe
Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board. Zora Neale Hurston
I wish that we, women and men, can find peace in our hearts to collaborate for our collective good. The shaming and blaming must stop. When we lift each other up, we all benefit so harmony is imperative. I love the message of Oprah’s holiday wish below. It is applicable to all seasons. Have a wonderful International Women’s Day!
“They’re my holiday wishes, and I picture this sight: You and your family on a cold winter night.
Together and safe with love in your home, surrounded by peace, no one is alone.
I wish faith was the rule and kind thoughts were shared. Just imagine this world if everyone cared.
I picture your children, tucked in their beds, with sweet expectations of the new year ahead.
I wish for hope in your heart in whatever you do. That’s the holiday dream I’m dreaming for you.” Oprah

These points are so true! We really do need to support each other – entrepreneurs, single moms, any age or phase of life. It’s wonderful to have a community of women to surround you. What a great day! I am so glad we are celebrating women in our day and time. <3
Indeed. I am happy and sad because while I love that we are being reminded of the work and effort it takes to move towards gender equity, I feel that some women either don’t get the importance of the work or they just don’t care about gender equity… 🙁
How could some of us be female and not give a damn about laws and restrictions that impact our gender?
