Celebrating Women of Achievement Month


Women Silhouettes
Let's face it, through the years, women made many significant and monumental contributions to various sectors of our life for the betterment of humanity. Countless heroines became pioneers and trendsetters that contributed to many attributes, which improved our society. This month marks our celebration of the accomplishments, big and small of all women. September is Women of Achievement Month, promoting excellence, promotion and achievement women have made for centuries.

I am inspired by the incredible feats women made to our country and throughout the world. From motherhood to scientists, civil rights activists, authors, Pulitzer Prize Winners, inventors, entertainers, aviation experts, war veterans, athletes, educators to countless other professions, women continue to make amazing strides through innovative ways. 

Women made many significant and monumental contributions to various sectors of our life. Countless heroines became pioneers and trendsetters for many attributes in our society. This month marks our celebration of the accomplishments, big and small of all women. 

Our "Herstory" is our strength, courage and commitment to who we are, based on where we've been. When I created my Pinterest Board "Phenomenal Females" it challenged me to research women who made some monumental and positive contributions that impact our world, of yesteryear and today. Women made their marks in history and continue to become game-changers in the quest for respect, justice and equality. Feel free to pay homage to a woman you admire, whether you know her personally, professionally or historically.

Cheers to commemorating Women of Achievement Month!

Today is National Thank You Day

Thank you, National Thank You Day, Gratitude, Appreciation
In every language there is a word for "Thank You." It means so much, yet we sometimes use it so little. All too often, we run into people who feel they are entitled to gifts or certain acts of kindness, and fail to show their appreciation and gratitude.

I wrote an article 3 years ago entitled, "What Happened to the Meaning of Thank You?" I am reposting the link to it, as a reminder of how important it is to extend this common courtesy, when someone does something nice or special for you. I appreciate you stopping by my blog today and thank you for reading it.
