Ladies in our lives.....we think you're amazing! 🙌
Because, let's face it, life as a woman can often be a tough slog, yet we see our female friends, family and colleagues showing up every single day and getting s*** done.
And there are curveballs aplenty aren't there...
For us right now, these curveballs are often 'working mum issues'.
❄️ Schools are shutting because of the snow, can you come get them...now.
🤕 Your child has a headache, can you come get them...now.
📕 It's World Book Day, parents evening, after school netball match, school disco...oh, can you help? (say hello to your new PTSA treasurer and parent governor)
🏆 Your child has won an award...assembly will be in 5 mins, can you get here?
Never mind the endless emails and WhatsApp group messages pinging away all day long with a whole load of 'stuff'. 💬💬💬💬💬💬
Yet we know we are not unique or special, this is the ordinary, day-to-day reality for so many of our female friends, colleagues and clients.
But none of us are ordinary are we?
Because when all of this stuff comes at us from all angles, we're ready - to think fast, to pivot, to juggle and to simply be there.
And all while holding down full-time jobs and taking part in serious business conversations while trying to ignore an emergency HELP text from your child about his split trousers ⬅️ (insert your own scenarios here)
Yes, we may grumble, drop a few balls (and occasionally a few f bombs), but in the main, we're all pretty bloody special.
Please tell yourself that today. And better still, drop in an f bomb for us ;)
Happy International Women's Day - we think you're absolutely brilliant!
❤️❤️❤️
