Life in Words.

Today is International Women's Day and I, for one, am celebrating. Here are ten things for me and for you, ladies. 1. Today I am celebrating freedom and independence. I am free to live my life on my terms. 2. I am grateful for every woman in my life who has taught me that life doesn't have to look the same for everyone and that the differences are worth fighting for and celebrating. 3. Thank you to all the women who came before me and fought their asses off so that I can live the life I want. 4. No matter where you go in the world, you are among sisters and mothers. You can find them anywhere because we share the common experience of being divinely woman. 5. Thank you to my own mom who left home at an early age, started a career, had a family, and demonstrated for me what it meant to be strong. 6. We are lucky to live in a time when we, as women, decide what we want our lives to look like and, for the most part (always room for improvement), we can make it happen. 7. Ju
