Didn’t have the brain capacity to post on International Women’s Day as I was stuck for hours on an idling plane in Dallas, but I wanted to say how much I appreciate all the women in my life. I appreciate how many different kinds of strengths, personalities, goals and perspectives I get to see in action every day. How we all have our unique talents and unique insecurities and unique ways of how we all go through life. Seeing this is the most miraculous thing. The pressure our society puts on us women to mold us is a heavy thing. I feel it everyday in my industry, outside my industry, within family, from strangers on the street, in the media. Even from other women. Sometimes I just feel like exploding with the amount of things I feel like I have to do to feel worthy of just BEING never ends when all I really want is to be content RIGHT NOW. Especially when it comes to decisions on my body. We all have the right to live our lives without judgment and to feel safe both physically and mentally. I know I have it much easier with the privilege of access and support that I have in life and that many of the women I know personally have, but then I also know that standing up and bending over backwards for all women is critical. Because what is mine is also OURS. Even if it’s just these thoughts today to remind you too look in the mirror and really SEE every part of what you are; the most barest parts, the parts you adore, the parts you are most sensitive about, the parts others make you feel low about, the parts of yourself that YOU decide to change with the intention to better serve yourself so you can better serve the world in your own small but significant way. We are no perfect beings, but we who identify as women deserve the respect to call our own shots. Love you all!
