Celebrating women today... and every day

Sometimes I ask myself, if we are all really ok? We limped through the COVID years to come out the other side to a whole compounded mess of challenges. Geopolitical fires burning all over, climate change rearing its head faster and more ferociously than expected (by most of us, scientists have been warning, we've been ignoring them, unfortunately), elections across the world showing some scary xenophobic shifts... Lots to worry about about.

But, despite these challenges and how big they feel, we need to remember that we are not powerless. And that we should be holding each other up and empowering good work and positive ideas and solutions that work. Even failures can teach us something. The world is a scary place right now. So many people are out there trying to do make it better. I am glad to be part of that group. We can feel down and sad. We are allowed to have bad days and doubts. But, we need to get back up and try again.

So, showing my gratitude for all the women out there doing their best, holding it all together, trying to make a positive impact in their part of the world - however big or little that is.
