The Woman I Celebrate Today!

Amanda, Nicole and our Woman of Honour, Judy!

Tomorrow is March 8th and is the 100th Anniversary of International Women`s Day.  I am blessed to have many wonderful women in my life, young and old who motivate me, challenge me and care for me.  One person who has been a steady light in my life is my cousin Judy pictured above with her two daughters.  Judy was given the task of babysitting me when I was young and continued to always feel responsibility for my well-being.  My path led me away from our home-town and we lived apart for many years, but always together in our hearts.  

Judy is a quiet soul who always seeks out the good in people.  She is generous and kind and does not expect or want any recognition for this.  She is devoted and dedicated to her family, her friends and, in my mind deserves a certificate to frame on her wall - 

Judy - Good Person, True Friend, Honest Neighbour

We don`t issue awards or certificates for leading a compassionate life - Judy, you win my award for Woman of the Year.  xo vagi
