A fearful mind can disrupt clarity.

We may tend to doubt our perceptions based on past experiences, or be brainwashed into thinking nothing ever changes, even though we see evidence of change every day.

Stay aware.
Focus on the magic of a new day.
Do something that wakes up your joy.
Stay ready.
Be impeccable with your word to yourself.
Do your best.
Each day your best may be different.

Why Women's History Month is in March🌱

WHM began as National Women's History Week, a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California. Organizers chose to start on March 8: International Women’s Day. A consortium of women's groups then petitioned Congress and the White House in support of a national Women's History Week.

In 1980, President Jimmy Carter designated the first National Women's History Week by Presidential Proclamation. Again, the week of March 8 - 12, 1980 was chosen to coincide with International Women's Day on March 8. The following year Congress authorized Women's History Week to begin the week of March 7. Congress continued to pass resolutions designating Women's History Week for five more years, until 1987, when they established all of March would be celebrated as Women's History Month.
