International Women's Day 2017!

Happy International Women's Day!! By far, one of my favourite days of the year is today. It's not a time to get overtly-political in my eyes, it's a time to appreciate and celebrate the great things women are and do. They are our mothers, grandmothers, sisters, co-workers, teachers, friends, and inspirations. They are powerful, awe-inspiring and don't get enough credit for how much they shaped the course of history. Today, of all the days of the year, go and tell a significant woman in your life how important they are to you. It may seem trivial, but those sort of compliments keep the world turning. I think the phrase that best suits International Women's Day is this:

 "Here's to strong, capable, inspiring women. May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them"

Hands down, my Mum is my biggest inspiration. She is the first person in the history of our family to go to University, she has her Bachelor, her Masters and is about to finish her PhD. She managed all this and two children and a full-time job, that required international travel and transforming the world of education. She taught me about feminism, girl-power, being educated and well-informed, and a whole lot of other things that have shaped who I am as a person. So, Award for Best Lady I know 2017 goes to you, Kylie.
