Happy International Women’s Day!
We stand upon the shoulders of giants! There are so many women I’m grateful for each March (well, every month really!)
We truly are in a time of the divine feminine rising, and this past year has seen the contributions of women be recognized more and more — so many ‘firsts’ for women.
These amazing women have dedicated their work to the empowerment of women everywhere through their amazing activism and fearless commitment to all women.
The best thing you can do to honor their heroic efforts is to find what it is you are passionate about, own your voice and then share it unabashedly with the world!
Women, we are the gift the world needs most now.
