INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY: EMPOWER EACH OTHER WITH LOVE

Today, we celebrate women. We're strong, we're fragile, and yes, we're hot and cold. But today, is to remind us to embrace our dignity and to stand beside one another.
I think feminism in general is starting to get a bad name. Today (or any day for that matter) is not about man hating and it's not about thinking women are the greatest people ever, but it's about recognizing that strength and beauty come in different shapes, sizes and forms.
So humanity, and yes all ladies, we must raise one another up because when women come together incredible things can happen.
Learning how to celebrate others success and beauty is a quality I think all of us need—men too. Instead of feeling jealous of someone else or doubtful of our journey, find inspiration from others and acknowledge the ones who are standing out of the crowd and give love to the ones who need a little light in their life—we're all worth it.
Don't underestimate the power of passion, happiness and encouragement—it's all contagious. Believe in who you are, embrace others achievements and surround yourself with strong women who show their heart and use their wisdom to empower and inspire others.
Life is full challenges, but conquer them and find motivation with others. There is a richness in surrounding yourself with women who see the best in you—we've got your back.
Remember to wholeheartedly pursue your goals, aspire to stand empowered, but also empower others, especially fellow women. Have a vision and achieve it with grace. Focus on self-respect, self-awareness, self-love and armor yourself in positivity. An unbreakable spirit is admirable—be you relentlessly and believe in the power of your greatness.
Sending love to all my ladies out there, we got this!
(We see you too, men—thanks to those who stand beside their queen.)
