Celebrating the women in our lives

#BeBoldForChange

Think about the women in your life… you might have a mother, a daughter, a sister, a sister-in-law, a wife, an aunty, a grandmother, a granddaughter or a niece.  You could be surrounded by female friends, work colleagues or neighbours.
 
Now think about the last time that you celebrated each of those women.  When was the last time you told them what a difference they make in your life or how you feel about them?

Besides Mother’s Day and International Women’s Day how often to we acknowledge and thank the women in our lives for everything they do for us?  They tend to make thankless sacrifices for us and we tend to assume that it’s simply their duty.

So with all that giving and us readily taking, perhaps it’s time that we paused just briefly to think of ways that we could return the love and support given to us?

Here are a few ways that we could give back:

Simply say “Thank you”

It doesn’t sound much does it, but to the person receiving those two little words - you’ll probably find that it means the world.

Tell them what they mean to you

We all like to feel appreciated and needed. 
So what’s wrong with letting the special ladies in your life know?


Leave them alone!

Sometimes the women in our lives, who do so much for us, just want a bit of  time and space for themselves.  Make an environment where they can do that - guilt free.

Make time for your female friends

That’s right ladies, I’m not just aiming these tips at men and children….. women need to look out for other women as well.

Throw a party

Just because women should be celebrated!

Support their ideas and their personal goals

Knowing that your loved ones are right there beside you, encouraging you to follow your dreams is very important.
