To the women, as women's month comes to a close

I celebrate all the women of the world for their compassionate hearts that make them so sweet. Every person has at one time or other needed a shoulder to cry on and most of the times the person who offered him/her that shoulder was a woman. It could have been your mother, your sister, your aunt, your niece, your grandma, your aunt, your cousin, your sister-in-law, your mother-in-law, the woman next-door, your female workmate or your wife. There are women all over the world whose hearts can accommodate you and give you that understanding, that sympathy, that hug, that reassurance, that advice, that counselling just when you need it the most. It is what we women are known for and let us keep it up for it makes the world so human.





All of us women, old and young, hold special memories of good times we've shared with other women. We've had our share of hard times and our women friends were there to make us feel better. We've shared our hearts, our time, our secrets, our fears, our hopes and our dreams. Let us never break the chain of women friends so that we grow old holding each other's hands as friends.





What's so poignant about the picture above?
Well, it shows a line of little girls holding hands facing the immensity of ocean waves. Alone they might be washed away, but together they stand strong. Thank you women for holding each other's hands somewhere along the way when one of us women was facing a wave of their own. I hope you will continue to reach for my hand or any other woman's hand when your own wave threatens.


Let us women not spoil the goodness we are known for with petty issues like gossip, jealous, envy or competition.


Some woman will always be prettier and younger looking than you but that is no reason to be jealousy of her.




Some woman will always be smarter than you but that is no reason to try and bring her down.




Some woman's house will be bigger than yours or they will drive a better car, or their children will do better in school or their husband will fix more things around the house but that is no reason to try and compete with them.

Just let it go and be happy by loving yourself and your circumstances.


Think about it.
The prettiest woman in the world can have trouble in her heart. And the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children. And the richest woman you know, she's got the car, the house, the clothes....might be lonely.
And the word says 'If I have not Love, I have nothing.'


So, again, love you. Love who you are. Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say.
"I am too blessed to be stressed with petty issues and too anointed to be disappointed, jealousy or want to live beyond my means as I compete!"
"Winners make things happen. Losers let things happen"


Be blessed women of this world and hey love that special someone with all your heart, because, 'To the world you might be one person, But to that one special person you just might be the world'.
