Ive seen such wonderful posts throughout social media today,  to mark International Women's Day 2016  - #IWD2016 -my favorite was this beautiful film from  www.wiseatheart.com and shared via Permaculture Magazine
 ​
​Inspired by so much of the energy from #IWD2016 I’ve been spending some time reflecting on all the wonderful women who impact my life at the moment – here are some of my thoughts of gratitude 
 
Women who write the books I read,  (and often review);

Women who I rarely (if at all ) meet face to face, but who are my friends and positive connections in the big wide world of social media;

Women who teach me, through courses, workshops, by example,  and the other women who attend those events, with many of whom I stay  friends with long after; 

The global network of women who inspire me with their practice, knowledge and stories;

Many women working at strategic and national levels to generate political changes towards equal, balanced healthy lives, w3that  are prioritised and happen , and women working for grassroots organisations with similar goals;

Women health care professionals I work alongside,  who inspire my passion about quality of life as we die, Many of my patients and their families too ;

Women who design systems for healing and regenerating land, communities and self using permaculture principles and ethics;

My diverse group of friends, long term, and transient;

Women who farm to grow the food I eat; 

My wonderful WISE (Women Inspiring Stories of Empowerment) group whose monthly Skype presence and space has given me so much so far this year, even in its short life;

Women in my local communities who work in local business and run services to help and support me with my day to day life needs;

Women and girls  in my family, present in this world, and those no longer alive - especially my mum, Mo, whose letters wrote before my birth are teaching me about the similarities in politics, adventure in life and compassion we share ;

My Goddess daughter and other young women who inspire hope for your next generation;

​And of course my beautiful partner and soul mate , H x

What a beautiful film, and how amazing to have your mum's letters. I've got a few postcards my dad sent his parents, would love to have full letters.
