A Love Letter to Women

“Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for.”— Jo March, Little Women

A Love Letter to Women

This is a response to In Honor Of International Women's History Month, Thank An Amazing Woman In Your Life.

Dear Women,

Throughout our lifetime, we have faced countless obstacles and challenges, yet we continue to push forward with grace, strength, and determination. From fighting for our rights, fighting for our voices to be heard, as well as our place in society, we have shown resilience and tenacity in the face of adversity. We have broken many barriers, shattered glass ceilings, and paved the way for future generations.

But our contributions go far beyond just the battles we have fought. Women have been the backbone of society, nurturing and caring for those around us. We have been the ones to wipe away tears, provide comfort and support, offer a listening ear, and the glue that holds families and communities together.

I am in awe of the women who have come before us, blazing trails and setting the stage for future generations, and equally inspired by the women of today who continue to fight for important moralities like gender equality, reproductive rights, and an end to violence against women.

But our contributions do not stop there. We are mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, and mentors. We are the start of our families, our communities, and our businesses. We have a unique perspective, a wealth of knowledge, and an unwavering commitment to making a difference.

It is because of us that our world is a better place. It is because of us that we have hope for a brighter future. And it is because of us that we will continue to strive for equality, justice, and peace.

As we celebrate Women's History Month, let us not only honor the women who have come before us, but also recognize the incredible strength and potential of women today. We are powerful, we are capable, and we are deserving of all the love and respect in the world.

Because, my dear sisters, you are loved. You are cherished. You are respected. And you are essential to the fabric of our universe.

Here's to you, women, and all that you represent.

With love and gratitude,

A fellow woman.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
