lost scared alone and wasted

Happy International Women’s Day!
The #IWD2021 theme is #ChooseToChallenge. Let us all commit to challenge inequality, call out bias, question stereotypes, and help forge an inclusive world. You don’t have to be a woman to share this commitment. You simply need to support the cause.
Today I celebrate women everywhere, recognizing their strength and power to push through life with their head held high, regardless the circumstances.

Her Courage Matters (Décima)
Family doomed right from the start
Plain and simple, Dad likes to roam
Pain he causes pervades the home
And Mom contains her broken heart
Safety denied, she plays it smart
Tried to escape his angry scorn
Long before a third child was born
But now the coast and skies are clear
With turbo speed, they flee in fear
Reaching the runway plane next morn
Not every woman’s story can be told, so for this day in Women’s History Month I’m recognizing those whose plight remains unknown but their strength and courage is empowering.

I Am Woman
What better way to start off the month of March, recognized as Women’s History Month, than with my favorite lyrics from the Helen Reddy song that birthed the phrase “I am woman, hear me roar!”
You can bend but never break me
‘Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
‘Cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul.
