This International Women's Day...

My thoughts are with ALL women in war torn countries. Strong women; Many of whom have had to leave their jobs, their homes, their spouses, their homelands, kids in tow, under impossible circumstances and odds, and with the many who stay and fight!

My thoughts are with ALL women whose rights are being stripped, whose bodies are being bought, who have no control over their own personal autonomy.

My thoughts are with ALL Women who have suffered loss; Women who have cried at night, trying to figure out how to pay bills and feed their children; Women who work more than one job.

My thoughts are with Afghan Women, Syrian Women, South Sudanese Women, Iraqi Women, Ukrainian Women, Palestinian Women; ALL women who have to endure war and suffering.

My thoughts are with ALL of you reading this, especially the women who have suffered the loss of a child, and under the weight of such constant heartache and pain, find strength to carry on.

Let's celebrate these courageous Women, and let's send a collective hug to them and to each other, like I send a hug to ALL of you. 🐝

Today, I celebrate ALL women who share this Earth, and I thank you for your wisdom, courage and herstory.

This world needs more compassion and love, each and every day. We've got this, gals!! ❤️
