Honor the women in our lives

What a powerful word today.

100 years ago, who would have guessed that women could so change the course of history?

Perhaps the persistence and dedication of a few, then so many more, can now be appreciated.

Let not the memory fade, nor the significance wane.

Continue on with renewed optimism no matter the wear and tear.

And remember, each woman is someone’s
child, sister, mother, partner or friend.

We all gain so much through our connection to women, being women, knowing women.

Treasure the innate wisdom and uniqueness that
balances and complements what men offer in this world.

Women complete the picture.
