International Women's Day 2011

100 years ago, women made their presence known by demonstrating their right to vote in this country. As women, we have since earned that and many other privileges because we didn't stop working towards equality. It is this day that is annually recognized to reflect on where women have been and what we strive to achieve.

There is one thing that will stop me or Samantha or Sofia (or anyone) from attaining our goals and that is ourselves. You have to find your way. Nothing stops me except myself and I alone am responsible for my choices. I own my decisions and I'm teaching that lesson to my girls. I'm not perfect, but they see me working on improvement every day. Maybe we hit an obstacle, but we rise up and continue on our path. We get knocked down and we get back up. I hope that I'm teaching them to work hard toward their goals and embrace their choices every single day.
