2017 Was A Remarkable Year For Women! I Am Inspired!

Happy New Year! 2017 was quite a year and I wonder what this next year will bring. Looking back on the past 12 months, it's hard not to feel inspired by everything we saw in the news. Many women spoke publicly about their experiences in the workplace, and more significantly, they were heard and believed. The year began with a roar, with women's marches held all over the world. Millions of women, men and children assembled peacefully in every major city in unprecedented numbers. And the momentum swelled from there. Regardless of what you think of the events of this year, it's hard to ignore the changes that we're seeing and their significance in history. TIME Magazine actually named the "Silence Breakers" who launched the #MeToo movement as Person of the Year. So I'm starting off the year by paying tribute to some of the powerful women I admire.

No doubt you have women in your life whom you admire. (Maybe you're one of them!) I know I do! Every day, I meet women who are doing amazing things. They're business owners, educators, researchers, volunteers, artists, mothers, care givers, the glue in their family... the glue in so many things they do. And those are just the women I know! Then there are powerful women doing big, truly important things in the world, who are making a difference for future generations of women and girls. I'm quoting some of them this week and I hope you can take inspiration from them!
