Today I celebrate International Women’s Day. I honour all the women who are part of my life and I pay tribute to all the women who have influenced me in the past. Some of these women include:
First and foremost, My Mom
My sisters Betty and Faye
My daughters Kristi and Nellie
My granddaughters Kalia, Olivia, J & H
My daughters-in-law Amanda, Jeannette, and Nici
My Grandmother “Mom”
My nieces Brodie, Jennifer, Kari, Kathryn, Terri, Melissa, Meg, Kate, Emily, Dana
All my darling cousins like Maureen, Carolyn, Verna, Dale, Jacklyn and all the rest – and their daughters and granddaughters
My sisters-in-law Janet, Cheryl, Amanda, Penny, Wanda, Debbie, Lynda, Wendy, Mimi, Holly
All my Aunts
My long-time friend Kristi
Cherished friends Sharon, Aleta, Andrea
My mother-in-law Florence
Lil
Good neighbours
High school friends who have reconnected
Wise women like Elsie Cressman, Ina May Gaskin, Margaret Mead, and Marian Thompson.
My friends in La Leche League and all the mothers I’ve been honoured to help over the years.
The women I assisted with the births of their babies while I was a Midwife – and all those baby girls, many of them now adults themselves
The women around the world who I will never even meet who have impacted my thoughts and actions over the years.
I apologize if I haven’t mentioned any lady in particular who has been part of my life. You are still important to me.

It’s a blessing to just take time thinking about the amazing women we’ve encountered along the way. I also have a very long list. They are inspirational, creative, loving, and giving. How lovely is that?
