Today we celebrate International Women’s Day. A global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. Today we reflect on the progress that has been made, we honor the courageous women who came before us, and we celebrate the greats who continue to lead us forward. There is still so much work to be done all over the world, and every little bit helps. As woman, we must stand together, lift each other up, empower one another, and help each other be the best possible people we can be. We are in this together, and together we can overcome any obstacle. So, do what you can, with what you have, and let yourself be passionate about issues that matter to you. Find a way to help a cause that is dear to you. I have never been more proud to be a woman. Proud to be the daughter of a great women, and the mother to an AMAZING young women. Right now, is a powerful time in our fight, our story. So, on this Women’s Day I have put together a small collection of 10 favorite quotes, from women, that inspire me to fight the good fight. I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration on this powerful day.
