Celebrating International Women’s Day

A circle of women with a mission can save the world! Today being International Women’s Day is a great opportunity to surround yourself with the women who inspire you every day.⠀

International Women’s Day unifies tenacity and drives action for gender equality while celebrating the social, cultural, economic and political achievements of women from history and modern day. Today of all days we should be kind, amazing, strong, powerful and shine bright for all the women around the world, lighting each other’s way.⠀
⠀
Throughout ancient and modern history, women have collaborated and led purposeful action to reduce gender inequality in the hope of a better future for their communities, children and themselves. Let’s recognize, honor and celebrate the important and impressive achievements of women everywhere.⠀

Values that guide International Women’s Day provide direction for the type of action, behavior and ethos associated with this critical and globally-supported day.⠀

Here are ten values that I carry with me to guide International Women’s Day:

1. Justice
2. Dignity⠀
3. Hope
4. Equality⠀
5. Collaboration⠀
6. Tenacity⠀
7. Appreciation⠀
8. Respect⠀
9. Empathy⠀
10. Forgiveness⠀

 

Use these values to deeply understand and drive your own International Women’s Day activity as you call for action and celebrate women’s achievements.

Throughout the last half a century, women have made great strides pushing for gender equality, but the work is not done! Let us continue the work and fight the good fight for those women whose voices are still going unheard.

Empowered women, empower the world!

Thank you to all my amazing women patients, friends, colleagues, my daughter, family and staff who make my work truly wonderful, allowing me to celebrate the accomplishments of women all year round. At my practice, we celebrate women and their achievements every day. We honor their physical health, mental health and help them move thru the world with greater ease all year round.

To women everywhere, we salute and honor you!
