Today is International Women’s Day and it is a day to celebrate us, women, and have respect, appreciation and love towards us. Because everything starts from you and if you don’t respect, appreciate and love yourself, you can’t share that with the world.
Today I attended my first ever International Women’s Day Luncheon through my work and it was amazing.
The luncheon had many amazing women in attendance and the guest speaker was Anne Summers.
Anne Summers is an Australian writer and columnist, best known as a leading feminist, editor and publisher. She was formerly First Assistant Secretary of the Office of the Status of Women in the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
The speech was mind proving and made me think how things are hard for women in their 70’s and 80’s.
The lunch was amazing with a choice of chicken breast wrapped in prosciutto , polenta, buttered spinach and truffles jus or Barramundi with creamed leek and lemon thyme, crisps eschalot and chive salad with apple balsamic.
It was followed by a divine dessert, Belgian chocolate fondant, Baileys parfait, golf feuilletine and passion-fruit caramel.
The afternoon ended with me winning the door prize.
Too all the women out there
Be strong 💪
Be happy
Be positive +
Love 💕yourself so you can love others 💗
Today is International Woman’s Day and it is a day to celebrate us, woman, and have respect, appreciation and love towards us. Because everything starts from you and if you don’t respect, appreciate and love yourself, you can’t share that with the world.
There are many reasons why this day is celebrated but I want to celebrate it by listing all the good reasons why I rejoice being a woman.
Woman is a daughter, sister, wife, mother and a friend. I can’t imagine this world without them. Yes, that is who we are.
Women have so many choices. They can work or stay home. Be a nurse or a soldier.
How can I forget to mention the choices women have in fashion. One can choose to wear jeans or skirts or dress or shorts or Kurta or Sari or Omani or Kimono or Shalwar Kameez. Anything your heart desires.
Talking about fashion, how about high heels, they are my favourite and give women an instant boost in height and confidence or they can choose to wear a ballet flat or thongs and still look beautiful.
Make-up is a part of our daily regime and we can experiment with different, glamorous looks.
Doors are held open for us, chairs are pulled out for us.
We could dye our hair and get rid of the gray without being ridiculed.
We have the gift of female intuition which usually steers us in the right direction.
Women are great listeners and don’t always feel they need to fix things.
We can wear coloured nail polish to match the season, mood or our clothing.
Women can multi-task with ease.
Women are intelligent enough to know there is no such thing as a “Happy Period.”
Chances are in front of every awesome man is an awesome woman who made him that way
I think the song by Helen Reddy sums of everything I want to express right now. This is for all the ladies out there. Here is the lyrics if you haven’t heard it before.
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an’ pretend
’cause I’ve heard it all before
And I’ve been down there on the floor
No one’s ever gonna keep me down again
CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
’cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
’cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul
CHORUS
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin’ arms across the land
But I’m still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
FADE
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
Saying this I don’t hate men. I think we complement each other, like wheels of a bike. It is just that I am happy and content to be a woman and I won’t have it any other way.
To the all the ladies out there, Happy International Women’s Day. Enjoy and be proud of being a woman.
