If you answered "yes" to any of the above, you may now join in celebrating International Women's Day. Now I hadn't really heard of this before last week, but I'm willing to bake something delicious anyway and raise a cupcake (or perhaps a cookie) to my fellow women.
Women face unique challenges. We harbor new life, we give birth to said new life, we often raise the new life (a frequently thankless task), all while maintaining our homes and selves. Some of us work outside the home. All of us work inside the home.
Take a look at the women around you. What do you see? Friends, family, a few rivals? Misunderstandings and sometimes perfect understanding can get in the way of sisterhood. This is a day to let go of any grudges and respect the challenges we all face everyday, a day to support each other and lift each other up. Celebrate International Women's Day. If nothing else, be glad you're not a man.
