Dear Strong Women In My Life,
Even though National Women’s Day is behind us, I think that it is important to continue to acknowledge strong women like you more than just once a year. You are the people who empower all of us to get up on every Tuesday/Thursday morning and show that 9:00 a.m. class who is boss. You are the real superheroes and you deserve a proper thank you.
There are many women in our lives who we look up to.
There are the women who have inspired you for your entire life.
For many, this is your mother or grandmother. These women are the ones who you have to thank for pretty much everything. You grew up watching these women take life by the horns and really conquer any problem that is put in their way. You sat on their bedroom floor as they got ready for work, packed your lunch for school, and did countless other mundane life tasks. You idolized the way they just knew how to do everything and you hoped that one day you would be as wise and knowing as them. Yet, the most enchanting quality of these women is their never-ending love. This is the woman who you call when you think that you did badly on a test, when are sick while you’re away at school, or if you just need a pick me up. This woman showers you with her love and you instantly feel as though you can move mountains. Thank you to all of these women.
There are the women who are inspiring you now.
These are the women who we have met along the way. These may be best friends, sorority sisters, or people who we just met in passing. These are the women who are making a difference in this world. If you know one of these women personally, then you should consider yourself lucky. These are the women who are giving up their own spring breaks to go help the less fortunate, the ones who call and check in on you while you’re sick, and the ones who push you to do better. These women are the ones who you will read about when you're older. They will accomplish things that we can only dream of and we will all feel blessed to have crossed their paths. Thank you to all of these women.
There is you, who is reading this right now.
You are amazing. You are a hard working woman who deserves the best that this life has to offer, not 77 percent of what life has to offer. You are beautiful on the inside and out. Although you may not know it, you are inspiring others every day. Somewhere in your life, there is a little girl who looks at you and thinks, “I want to be like her when I grow up.”
Let's continue to make that little girl proud
Let's continue to inspire others.
Let's continue to help each other up instead of tear each other down.
Let's close the pay gap.
Let's move mountains.
Let's compliment each other with honesty.
Let's discover new things.
Let's do it all together.
Sincerely,
An Inspired Woman
