March 8 is International Women's Day and this year, I would like to celebrate the women in our families who nurture us, love us, feed us, drive us, shop for us, and rescue us from mishaps every day of our lives. This year has been especially hard and has demanded a lot of women. We've stepped up and put care first in spite of great challenges with family, work, isolation, illness and all that the pandemic has put in our path.
What if 3 Wise Men were Women?
What would have happened if it had been three Wise Women instead of three Wise Men?
They would have asked directions,
arrived on time,
helped deliver the baby,
cleaned the stable,
made a casserole,
and brought practical gifts.

Our mothers do all these necessary things for us, but so do our girlfriends and our sisters. Today, let us celebrate all the kindnesses and all the 'love in action' that women give. These tasks will never be headlines in the newspaper, but as the writer Ann-Marie Slaughter said, "Domestic work makes all other work possible."
Happy International Women's Day to all who care for others - you are our role models, our teachers, and our loving friends.
SHARE THIS POST WITH THE WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE WHO INSPIRE YOU AND CARE FOR YOU.
