happy women's day!

From www.internationalwomensday.com:

The first IWD was held on 19 March 1911 in Germany, Austria, Denmark and further European countries. German women selected this date because in 1848 the Prussian king had promised the vote for women. Subsequently over one million leaflets calling for action on the right to vote were distributed throughout Germany before IWD in 1911. Now IWD is always celebrated on 8 March and is an occasion marked by women's groups around the world. This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday. Women in every country, often divided by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate this important date that represents equality, justice, peace and development.

It is also my birthday, I am 36 years old today and every year of my life I've thanked the universe for making me a woman. Not just because I was born on March 8, but also because I enjoy and relish my womanhood and the relationships with women and men that I have because I am a woman.

So all you women, take a moment today to reflect on how lucky you are to be women, and men, look around at the women you know, and be impressed by their strength and accomplishment.

Have a great day, everyone.

aspiration

I see no reason why I should not look like this:



So to that end I will be taking a bellydance class beginning in April. Some of my faithful readers will remember that I did this once before but didn't follow through with it for a number of reasons. But this time the stars have aligned.
