As my very first post I wanted to say thank you to all the women who have touched my life and show you just how special you truly are!
She...
She affected all others around her. Quietly touching one heart, who in turn touched another. Reaching out to ends further than she would ever know.
Who is she? There are many ways to describe a woman. Mother, daughter, sister or wife. Student, teacher, leader or friend. But the thoughts in these pages are not about titles or roles, they are about spirit and heart. They are not about fame or acclaim, they are about caring and accomplishment.
Look around. There are certain women in our world who have the gift of finding joy everywhere and leaving it behind them when they go. You'll usually find them immersed in their work, or slow dancing with their dreams, or making a difference for all those around them. These are the women who can flood our souls with light and laughter...strength and courage...hopes and dreams. It's not just what they do that sets them apart, it's how the make us feel.
She is someone gentle but powerful. Someone whose music washes away the dust of everyday life. Someone who makes us laugh when we thought we would cry. Someone who can pick up the pieces and give them back in all the right order. Someone who pays attention to the little things and adds such beauty to the world. Someone who cares.
We feel so lucky and so blessed to have these special women in our lives. Its hard to express how we feel about them, but here's something we can do: We can love them, affirm them, thank them, and celebrate them. She must be something special. She is. Celebrate her.
