As I reflect women’s history month, I stand in gratitude for the women who have paved the road ahead of me. I stand in gratitude for the women who have had a great impact and influence in my life personally, as well as the women that I have only read about. Some of these women are no longer here physically, and some are still in the land of the living.

It is important for us to give the women in our lives recognition while they are living so that there is an exchange of appreciation and admiration. It is important to let those who have made a difference in our lives know that we love them, and that we are grateful for them pouring into us, shaping us, as well as encouraging us along this journey called life.
