Did you think about doing something special to celebrate International Women's Day today? Did you ever do something special on that day? There is a good chance that if you grew up with one or two alcoholic parents or in an otherwise dysfunctional home, there was little space to celebrate your uniqueness and specialness as a woman. Worse of all, you may have ended up in a family that worshiped males or simply did not respect women.
It's not too late to celebrate yourself and the other important women in your life: your mother, sisters, friends and daughters, even the very little ones. (I am including my 30 month old grand daughter as someone to be celebrated this year).
What can you do to make today special? It can be as simple as standing a little taller and wish yourself a great International Women's Day. Or you can invite some female friends over for dinner or send them an email wishing them good on this day, or remind your family that today is to be celebrated. Ask your husband or boyfriend to do something for you. Buy a cake. Curl up in bed with a good book.
You are special and unique. Today is a great day to remind yourself to take good care of yourself. You are worth it.
