For the past few months, I have witnessed a friend live her life in an inspiring, authentic, and beautiful way. She wasn’t doing it for a camera, social media likes, or recognition. She was living, dealing with multiple hard blows simultaneously. Like so many others I know, she rose to the occasion. For better or worse, someone is always watching you.
We all know remarkable women. Many publications highlight women during the month of March. Receiving media coverage or being featured in a magazine or newspaper is flattering. However, there are only so many spaces and countless women who never receive that attention. Here are some people who may never make it on the cover of a magazine but deserve some positive attention. I see you; I love you; I appreciate you!
Use this concept, and highlight 26 women in your life- past or present. I know a lot of women; this is not an exhaustive list, but rather who was top of mind when I saw a particular adjective.
