International Women's Day

Today I want to recognize all the women in my past and current life who have been positive influences, continuing to inspire me:
my mom
Grandmother
my sister


I’m also taking the time to recognize all my women friends (some whom I’ve lost touch with) out there in the world who have also been positive influences and supportive of me in some way:
Allyson
Ann
AnneMarie
Diane
Genevieve
Giulia
Jacquie
Julia
Kim
Kiran
Marsha
Megan
Myda
Nat
Patricia
Rochelle
Sarah
Shannon
Stephanie
Tracy
Wanda

All of you have been hugely supportive of me at some time and some of you continue to. I wish all of you well and hopefully you’ll have moment today to think of those women who have influenced your lives.

If you’re looking for some way to take part in an International Women’s Day activity and haven’t found anything yet, there is the IWD website. However, I’m sure locally it would be easy to find something to participate in.

For me today, I’m working. I have no idea how long the shift will be, nor how big an event, but it’s a large theatre opening so I expect it will be very sizeable. This is why I’m taking the time now to blog my moment of participation on this day.

Onward and upward.

Chef made a beautiful cake for this occasion. I didn't know it was International Women's Day until I saw the cake in the display case. I think it was a special order; if not, it got snapped up quick.

Is that my name on that list?

Of course that's your name on the list! We may be far apart geographically and not spent much time together since we lived in Victoria, but hey you were an important person in my life then and you are now.

The cake was a nice gesture. Some things should definitely be celebrated with cake.
