Debra SeS: International Women's Day & Women's History Month





March 8 is the day we celebrate everything about being a woman - isn't that fun??

International Women's Day started in 1909 and is a national holiday in many countries!

Below is Rosie the Riveter, have you ever seen this image? This image of Rosie is iconic for women in the USA. There really is a woman who inspired this image - she worked in the factory when all the young US men went to World War II. The sad part of the story is that she lost her job when the men came home...that is when women starting looking for other work and professions, beyond wife and mother.  Yes, that is right, this is when we discovered we could have it all.




It is very appropriate we have the day on March 8, because March is the month we celebrate our history, which I love to call Herstory! Ever wonder why we began marking March in this manner?  Well, click this link, and you will discover the reason!

What are you missing?

What is missing in your life? Is it love? Is it adventure? Is it serenity? Maybe you want to write a book? Go on vacation? If you go through your days, placing one foot in front of the other, feeling bored, stuck, sad, numb, or any number of emotions, it is time. It is your time. First you will want to identify what is missing. How do you do that?  "Think it over, think it under!" says Winnie the Pooh. I always begin by making a list of the top 100 things I want to do.

He wasn't ready for that ultimate ending yet. By accomplishing all the items on his Bucket List, he then achieved a sense of peace and acceptance about his life's demise.

Debra SeS: Deal with it!!

This is me, so deal with it! no longer will I pretend to like the clothes you like, especially when I think they are ugly... no longer will I lie to protect you, you deserve to know the truth... no longer will I be "NICE" so your feelings don't get hurt, they are your feelings and you are in charge of them... no longer will I allow you to speak for me, I have my own voice... no longer will I watch sporting events non-stop every weekend, when I prefer to read a book... no longer will I wear my hair long,because I love my short hair! no longer will I live in fear of your opinion, my opinion matters more to me... Look out now, I have put on my BIG GIRL Panties, so you will have to deal with it!! Always Yours, Debra K.
