last week we celebrated international women’s day, and while i appreciate that women received the acknowledgement we deserve for being awesome, i also struggle with only having one day of recognition each year. women are making great accomplishments in our world every day, and i want to do a better job of recognizing the amazing women i am blessed to have in my life. between my mother, friends, relatives, and coworkers, i am surrounded by phenomenal women in all walks of my life, and today i would like to share some of them with you.
