Through my eyes

Through my eyes

It's women's month. A whole thirty days to celebrate our greatness as women, our individuality, our beauty and our fabulousness, because let's be honest we are so flippen fantastic.

For sixty years we have been observing this special event and in six decades we really have come a long way when it comes to our rights, our freedoms and our bravery.

All we have to do is look at the women who are seated on the thrones of global power to realize the milestones we have achieved as the fairer sex.

I would like to take this opportunity to commend all women on your bravery. Because speaking from personal experience we are all champions, whether it's champions of big industries, small smme's or just our households, we are all victors of greatness,

This month does not only remind us about our rightful and equal place in society, it validates our position as champions and visionaries, as architects of our destiny!

Let us unite and mentor each other and be supportive of each other's dreams, being mindful of our subtle psyche and our fragile egos. We may appear strong and mighty on the outside but we are all, without exception also hardworking mothers, wives, sisters, aunties....

In this month of feminine acknowledgements, let's embrace our diversities and let's remember that we are worthy, not because I say so but because it is so.

So to all you beautiful women out there, let us go and make our mark on the world, and don't let anyone try to take your sparkle away!

Here are some words of inspiration to kick start our Women's Month.

"A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveller who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveller saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveller left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.

However a few days later the traveller came back to return the stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," the traveller said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I want to give it back to you in the hope that you would give me something even more precious. Give me what it is that you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."
