Happy Women’s History Month. So much to celebrate.
There are many notable and accomplished women all over the world.... women who have achieved tremendous accolades and they are well known.   
There are also women who do very important work every day, lifesaving and influential work and they get some to little recognition.   
I’m referring to mothers and teachers and caregivers and yia yias and koumbaras and aunts and cousins and sisters and friends and all the ladies who are patient, brave, loving and kind. 
Today we share inspiration and hope for all the important women who do great work and go unrecognized.
