My Word Paths for today
In honor of International Women's Day
I have always loved this quote from Whoopi Goldberg as Celie in the Color Purple,
Celie: [on leaving the farm in Shug's car, shouting to Albert]
" I'm poor, black, I might even be ugly, but dear God, I'm here. I'm here".
I think about those last two words a lot, "I'm here" and that inspired today's work "i am here". Simply said, says so much. The importance of being here as a woman and to honor and respect those who came before us.
Happy International Women's Day!
Happy Weekend • Celebrate Women • Enjoy the Language of Words
Thank you for stopping by.

I missed this one somehow. I absolutely love this. Powerful and necessary.
