International Womens Day
Just a reminder that today is International Womens Day.
A National Holiday in many countries. A day where all women despite their differences on many levels can look to "equality, justice, peace and development".
I always find this day a bit confusing. In my birth country this is a national holiday, yet here in North America it seems to be of little significance. Perhaps due to the 'socialist' nature of its origins????
It always makes me homesick to sit with my mom and eat her tasty salads and cakes and be 15 again ...sigh :frown:. At the same time I realize how incredibly lucky I am to be here at this time in History.
(thanks for indulging me) :goodvibes:
