<\/p>\nToday we celebrate women and we give thanks for the women in our lives.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
I feel incredibly lucky for my circle of ladies.\u00a0 \u00a0I think of my mom.\u00a0 \u00a0She taught me so much in just 18 years.\u00a0 She taught me to love life, family is important, stand up for yourself and others, believe in yourself, and shave your legs. (smile).\u00a0 \u00a0She taught me strength.\u00a0 Love.\u00a0 And the power of laughing at yourself through it all.\u00a0 \u00a0There was nothing she couldn’t do, and I never believed anything was out of reach.<\/p>\n
When my mom died, so many people stepped in to love on me and lift me up.\u00a0 I’m a lucky girl.\u00a0\u00a0I am in awe of the women in my life.\u00a0 Their strength and courage, combined with kindness and compassion.\u00a0 They amaze me, inspire me and encourage me daily.\u00a0 \u00a0I look up to so many women in this world for different reasons.\u00a0 Those who have overcome incredible tragedy and overcome, those who share their love and kindness with others, women in business, women who have written their own book.\u00a0 Women who changed careers and followed their dreams.\u00a0 Women who quit toxic relationships, and started over.\u00a0 Strength.\u00a0 Courage.\u00a0 Determination.\u00a0 Passion.\u00a0 Admirable.\u00a0![\"\"](\"https:\/\/storage.briwebapp.net\/2022\/03\/5634b9c3-woman.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Don’t ever doubt your place in this world or what you are capable of.\u00a0 Don’t ever believe your dream is for someone else or you are not enough to make it happen.<\/p>\n
This is a day of celebration for all women.\u00a0 It doesn’t matter what you do or where you came from – you are amazing, capable and so worthy of all that life offers.\u00a0 Today is International Women’s Day – but I hope you take time to celebrate YOU.<\/p>\n
I saw a quote today that I loved that said “I am inspired by the woman I am becoming.”\u00a0 \u00a0100% yes.\u00a0 \u00a0Celebrate the women in your life.\u00a0 Be thankful for those who molded you and shaped you, who loved on you, nurtured you and encouraged you to be better.\u00a0 But don’t ever forget the woman you see in the mirror.\u00a0 Be proud of HER.\u00a0 Celebrate HER.\u00a0 And realize that you just might be the one inspiring someone else.\u00a0 That’s pretty cool.<\/p>\n
So thankful for the women in my life.<\/p>\n
Happy International Women’s Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today we celebrate women and we give thanks for the women in our lives.\u00a0 \u00a0 I feel incredibly lucky for my circle of ladies.\u00a0 \u00a0I think of my mom.\u00a0 \u00a0She taught me so much in just 18 years.\u00a0 She taught me to love life, family is important, stand up for yourself and others, believe in","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":16579,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[5225,1710,1586,5224,447],"class_list":["post-17556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-afternoons","tag-iwd2022","tag-celebrate","tag-international-womens-day","tag-iwd","tag-women"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-26 14:32:03","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/foxfm.com\/blogs\/afternoons\/2022\/03\/the-view-from-here-happy-international-womens-day\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfgxfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfgxfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfgxfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfgxfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfgxfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17556"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfgxfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17556\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17559,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfgxfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17556\/revisions\/17559"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfgxfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfgxfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfgxfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfgxfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
