International Women’s Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women’s Day, is marked on March 8 every year. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women’s economic, political and social achievements.
Celebrating us as women, as mothers, daughters, sisters, friend, partners and the multitude of roles we play – this is something important to me and I’d like to say thank you.
As a working woman, my greatest support and encouragement has come from women.
The colour, energy, warmth and the authenticity that continues to inspire me is something I am thankful for.
Thank you to my female (and male) readers and friends. And yes, this is still a food blog :-), and I’m still here…..lots of foodie stories to read from you and some to share, were it not for time.
Lots of love ♥♥♥[wpurp-searchable-recipe]Celebrating You – International Women’s Day 2012 – – – [/wpurp-searchable-recipe]
