International Women's Day



"Every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man.
" ~Margaret Mead

I am so blessed to have amazing women in my life. I have a set of older women who have been good "mothers" to me. Many of whom have passed on and left me a rich legacy. I have ones who are just a few steps ahead of me on the journey whose wisdom I cherish. I have my age-mates who bring me joy and have shared many experiences with me. The ones who are a bit younger than I keep me youthful. The young women in my life remind me of my mentoring tasks. The girls in my life bring hope for the future. The women of the developing countries have taught me how to be grateful with little. My rural women folk reveal how one should be always attached to the land. It will teach you much. I have so many memories of women who have birthed me into new life. I am grateful tonight as I turn out the lights that I have them in my heart.

Peace,

Suzanne
