Happy Women's Day
Today we celebrate YOU and the women who made us better!
Hello everyone,
Happy Women’s Day! Today, we celebrate the beauty of being a woman, our courage and the beauty of our intuition. Today we celebrate YOU!
My wish for you is that you connect inwards and recognise the power you hold, the resilience within you and the beauty you carry.
I had the pleasure of being raised, mentored, and surrounded by strong women who do NOT accept the status quo.
My grandmother raised me and my dad without knowing how to read or write to be caring, intelligent and respectful people. She divorced her husband, who had an affair in the 1950’s, in the middle of communism, with 0 money to her name. She did not accept being second or being treated as unworthy in a time when women did not leave their husbands regardless of what they did. That taught me to recognise my worth and never rely on someone else to love me, respect me, or provide for me. I will cherish her love for me and her strength forever and hope to pass it down to my daughter. My grandma passed away almost 10 years ago.
My mum left Romania when I was only 4 years old because she knew she wanted a better future for her family. She left alone and travelled to Italy without knowing the language, where she was going, or how she would survive. She spent 3 years waking up to her pillow wet from crying every night as she couldn’t be next to her daughter or family. I did not see her for 3 years when I was a child. She taught me the power of love and sacrifice, and the strength it takes to care for your family and provide them with a better future. I am sitting here writing in English in a beautiful flat in London because of her courage, determination and sacrifice. I wish I can be at least half the woman she is for my daughter.
As I am writing this, I have tears in my eyes because I am realising - how did we get scammed into thinking we are the weaker sex? Women do incredible things every single day, and somehow still feel they are not worthy, need to change their bodies and make themselves small?
Let’s stop doing that and connect to our inward power!
I hope you have a lovely day filled with joy, and you celebrate yourself and the women in your life.
