International women’s day.
A glorious holiday to support women all around the world. I have many fond memories of women’s day in Ukraine and how big that holiday is. The cards, chocolates, flowers and parties make mothers’ day in America look like grandparents’ day. There was an outpouring of love and affection to women everywhere.
Earlier today, I had the opportunity to call a dear friend of mine in Ukraine (picture above) and wish her and her daughter a happy women’s day. Even after two years, I think daily still of the relationships that I gained in Ukraine and the people I came to love so dearly. They are more than just friends to me; they are a part of my family.
How blessed we are to have such wonderful women in our lives and to be able to learn from their natures as caring individuals. Let us each cultivate a greater sense of admiration for the women in our lives.
