Happy International Women's Day!! I am grateful for all the women who came before & mindful to lift up & encourage all those who will come after us. My girls & I are celebrating International Women’s Day by reminding each other how dearly loved we are & the strength & beauty we were made to embrace and live into. Maybe you need to be reminded too.

You are worthy. You are enough.  Your weakness & vulnerability are beautiful. You are more capable & stronger than you know. Your mess is being transformed. You are made of costly tears and spicy fire- don't let anyone make you feel small. May you occupy space in this world with the knowledge you are deeply loved.

I pray that for all of us we move forward with an appreciation for the diverse and beautiful world. May we learn to love others more and more like God loves us. May we breathe deep & create space for one another without worrying her breathing deep means we will run out of air.  We will not.  We can be for each other and together we are stronger. May we not grow weary until all are able to stand in the sun and in the truth and warmth of their value and dignity as created dear ones.
