Today, March 8, is celebrated around the globe as International Women’s Day http://www.internationalwomensday.com/. Some decry its commercialization, as corporate sponsors have realized it’s in their best interests to appeal to women who make over 85 percent of consumer purchases around the globe.
But it’s a day whose meaning inspires me to think back to a very special moment on September, 1995.
Happy International Women’s Day! Today we celebrate ALL women, ALL over the globe. Here’s to you, ladies!
Someone’s sick. Someone’s exhausted. Guess which one?
My little man has been sick since Sunday. Fever hasn’t broken yet. Doctor says it’s just a virus.
Warning: Mild venting about to begin…
It is called “redshirting.” Perhaps you have heard of it.
“Redshirting for young children refers to the practice of postponing entrance into kindergarten of age-eligible children in order to allow extra time for socioemotional, intellectual, or physical growth. This occurs most frequently where children’s birthdays are so close to the cut-off dates that they are very likely to be among the youngest in their kindergarten class.” (Wikipedia)
“I observe that many people seek happiness “out there”. They imagine it will come to them if they get a raise, a new car, a new lover, or something else they want but do not have. My own experience, repeated many times, is that the actual reward of getting and having, is usually much less than the one imagined.” Dr. Andrew Weil
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
