International Women's Day: Women As Influencers

International Women's Day: Women As Influencers

It all started with Eve in the Garden.  The power of influence is one of the greatest characteristics of women. As with Eve, we have a choice of how to use this power.  Eve made the wrong choice, but we don't have to make that same mistake.

I honor my Mom, Willetta Hamilton, who is one of the greatest women in my life. She has a quiet strength, faith that moves mountains, strong sense of family and patience like no other.  She set the tone of our home.  Haven't you heard, the saying, "If Momma ain't happy, nobody's happy?"  Well, my Mom set an atmosphere of peace.  Rarely did we see Mom upset as she seemed to tirelessly give her best to be that exceptional home manager, combined with an amazing nurse anesthetist, working extra hours to help provide for the family.  

Although Mom is retired now, she is still influencing us with her life of love and service to others.

Who are the women that have influenced your life?  

Today may be a good day, to say THANK YOU!  

I'm inspired today to acknowledge the two most influential women in my life.
