Happy International Women's Day! Celebrating the grace and grit of all the women who came before us. This is my grandmother with my mom and uncle. I love this photo of her. She worked for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. She learned to drive as soon as she was able...when most women did not. She never wanted to be in a situation where she couldn't do something (drive) because she had not learned how. She lived in a time period when women had very few rights so she took advantage of every opportunity she could to the fullest. She traveled the world...except anywhere behind "the iron curtain". She was so strong but had the best ability to laugh at herself and find joy and appreciation in the smallest moments. She raised an equally strong, adventurous, smart, capable daughter and I hope to continue this with my daughter. Celebrate the women in your life and honor them with your own grace and grit. It is contagious. Feel free to share any moments you have of the incredible women in our lives. I would love to hear the stories.
