Acknowledging the women who shape our lives

Today I would like to acknowledge the women who have shaped our lives. I think especially of my mum who has taught me what it is to be a woman and what it is to love. I think of my mother-in-law who so often cooks us the best Greek food. I think of my step-daughters who bring such love and happiness into my heart. I think of my sister, who always gives me her time, her shoulder and endless wisdom. I think of my best friends who know me as well as I know myself and still love me. I think of my female colleagues who support and often facilitate alongside me to make a difference in the world. I think of my office helpers who make sure my world keeps on ticking while I am coaching or facilitating all day. I think of my special clients who make me part of their team (you wonderful ladies know exactly who you are). I am because you are. Thank you for being the special women you are. Here’s to you

The beauty of a woman
isn’t in the clothes she wears,
the figure she carries,
or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman
must be seen from in her eyes,
because that’s the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman
isn’t in a facial mole,
but true beauty in a woman,
is reflected by her soul.
It’s the caring that she cares to give,
the passion that she shows,
and the beauty of a woman,
with passing years, only grows.
