Happy Thursday Divas :)
I hope you've all had a fantastic week! I didn't do Thankful Thursday last week as my focus was on International Day of the Girl. Doing the research and connecting with others throughout the day gave me lots to think about and made me especially grateful to have been raised within a family of strong women who encourage and motivate each other to succeed. Not everyone has that. The thought of someone my niece's age (9) being forced into marriage or child labor saddens me and motivates me to continue bringing awareness to the issues that affect girls worldwide and to continue the conversation on what we can do to make a change.
MissV turned 1!!! We had a fantastic time celebrating with our family and friends. My youngest sister even surprised me with a visit for her birthday. It was great seeing both my sisters.
Overall, it's been a fantastic week!

My son made my soul blossom this week--we got into bed when he woke up early and used his toy flashlight to read some stories together--there is nothing more vaulable!!
ReplyDeleteIt really is sad to realize that so many girls are not being raised in ideal situations. I'm glad there are awareness days like that.
