Superwoman Sanctuary
First Time in Forever…
I’ve been debating what to write for
Women’s History Month. I love honoring
and giving praise to the Beautiful Women in
my life who are successful, that I admire,
and who encourage and inspire me. I
realized how easy it is for me to compliment
other women and tell others about them and
why I admire them. I get super excited
when my friends are doing great things and
never hesitate to cheer them on. When I was
preparing to write this, I thought of it as one

great?
The two things I love about myself are that I
am both humble and bold. It may seem
contradictory but I believe this to be true
about myself. The humble side of me is
respectful and submissive while my bold
side is strong, outspoken, and not easily
intimidated. I am a great wife, great mom,
great daughter, sister, friend, and most of all
I am a leader. I’m loyal, committed, and
reliable. I work hard on my relationships
and while I have a zero tolerance
personality,
I
don’t
give
up
easily…especially on those I love. I have
influenced younger women to respect
