Women, Wonderful Women…

March 5, 2010

It’s March. That means it must be Women’s History Month – and that’s my focus for today.

So many women have spent time here on earth; and every single one of them contributed greatly to enriching the human condition. In ways large and small, women bring love, light, compassion, companionship, problem-solving, and brilliant thinking.

I’ve selected a video to share with you. I enjoyed it, and I hope you do too. Women of Inspiration smallJust click on the image to the left, and you’ll be taken directly to the video.

Before I leave you on this Friday, I’d like to share a witticism from Erma Bombeck.

“Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the ‘Titanic’ who waved off the dessert cart.”

While it’s funny, it’s also very profound – many of us forget that “the moment” is all we truly have! So, this weekend…go out and have some fun. You deserve it!

For those of you unfamiliar with her, Erma was born just before the Great Depression, and worked as a journalist. She then interrupted her career for college and then, after marriage, leaving the work force when her first child was born.

Eleven years later, Erma Bombeck began a weekly humor column, focusing on the life of a suburban family. It soon became twice weekly, later three times; by 1968 it was syndicated in 200 newspapers and by the late 1970s in over 800. Amazing! She touched so many lives…just as you do. Remember the profound implications of your work, and embrace the power within.

Sending you love.
