Strong women, I\u2019m absolutely surrounded by them, in work and in my personal life!<\/p>\n
Women who have been through terrible tragedies, domestic abuse, lost loved ones and still pull themselves up and live their lives even though their heart has been broken! <\/p>\n
They raise their children with love and teach them the ways of the world!<\/p>\n
Today is the day we celebrate them. Build each other up. Tell someone they are doing amazing, whether it\u2019s a stay at home mum, a career woman, or a single lady, you are simply a woman holding the reins and pulling and pushing to get to where you need to be, keep on doing it.<\/p>\n
To all the men out there who have been raised by strong women; we can absolutely tell your support, love, commitment to raising a family and living a good life alongside your chosen partner is what is changing the ways of the world. Attitudes are changing and evolving, we are dancing to a new tune where women and men are equal. Let\u2019s celebrate it and keep pushing there is still some work to do.<\/p>\n
To my mum who is one of the strongest ladies I\u2019ve ever met, who moulded me and gave me my values and attitude to life thank you! I saw your tears and your pain but I also saw you smiling, encouraging and pushing me to be who I am even when at times your life was in turmoil.<\/p>\n
To all my colleagues I see you leaving your babies to go to work, to provide for them and give them a good life and teach your babies an excellent work ethic and good values. I see you in meetings after you have fallen out with your teenage daughter over something small in the morning and its upset you but you put a brave face on and solider on. You\u2019re raising a strong woman and sometimes that communication gets lost.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m raising sons. Sons that will have the utmost respect for all women and will understand there is no difference in the end. No matter what; gender, colour, religious beliefs or sexual orientation, we are all the same. <\/p>\n
I hope I\u2019m doing a good job to instil those values. I hope I\u2019m setting a good example to them of what not just a strong woman is, but what anyone can achieve if they set their minds to it.<\/p>\n
I will pledge to celebrate women\u2019s achievements, I\u2019m pressing for progress, are you?<\/p>\n
