We love so hard, so fiercely and so unconditionally that we forget to love ourselves first. We give so much to others and so little to ourselves. We make promises, we make sacrifices, we give up dreams and goals only to fulfil our wifely and motherly duties.

We defend, we protect, we go to certain extents to provide what’s needed, regardless. We don’t always get what we want or need. We work with what we’ve got or earned. If we could give the world to others we probably would, without any doubt, without any fear, without even thinking.

We are not selfish, though we should be sometimes. We are unique in each and every way. We are beautiful, confident, inspirational, amazing, we are powerful beyond measure. God’s creation, His masterpiece. He has blessed us with inner strength, inner beauty, inner power. Our lives are in His hands. What we do with them, well, that’s our calling.

We decide, we proclaim, we aim, we strive, we fight, we believe, we achieve, we rise, doesn’t matter how many times we fall. We are powerful beings. We are wives, mothers, sisters, aunts, nieces, but the most important thing is we are WOMEN. I salute each and every WOMAN, doesn’t matter what age, race, religion or beliefs you have. I salute you. Stay blessed.
