Tomorrow is Ladies Day!

 That's right,

it's usually called Mother's Day,

but I like to think that it is a day to celebrate woman.

Instead of it just being about Mom's,

it should be just be about being an amazing girl!

We could have a Ladies Day and a Man Day!

Oh wait, Men already have their day/s...

it's any major sporting event.

Ha! Okay, that's not really true,

but the commercials seem to think that dudes 

are the only ones who watch those.

Anyway...

back to Ladies Day!!

Whether a woman is a mom or not

doesn't really matter.

Women influence all around them, 

and together we can raise an army of strong young women.

Women are just awesome,

and should be celebrated for being the nurturing people they are.

I'm not a mom,

but I feel like a play one everyday at work.

Okay, maybe not the mom,

but definitely the feisty aunt.

Who loves fiercely,

pushes you to do better and be better,

but also cares deeply too.

There's a beauty in the balance of those things that women 

bring to situations.

So, let's celebrate it!

Women are amazing!

So make sure that the fabulous ladies in your world 

are celebrated tomorrow.

It really doesn't take much to make someone feel special.

Just a kind word,

or a helpful hand can speak volumes.

And from me to all of the wonderful, beautiful women,

thank you for being strong,

gentle,

thoughtful,

and simply YOU!

You are perfect!

And believe me, I know what this looks like,

I was raised by this type of woman.

She's called Mom

and she's all of this and more.

I work with these women,

my time volunteering is surrounded by these women,

and I'm lucky be friends with strong, brave, gentle, 

thoughtful, and simply amazing women.

And how lucky to learn from them, am I.

Happy Ladies Day!
Especially to my Mom!
