#International Woman's Day
As a woman and as a woman's fiction author, I want to celebrate the day.
So let's get this party started...
Helen Reddy sings I Am Woman
Nancy Sinatra sings These Boots Are Made For Walkin'
Sister Sledge & All Star sing We Are Family
Wow, that was empowering--and it brought back happy memories of jumping on the sofa, hair brush mic in hand. And, much later, dancing with my sisters at an ECE (early childcare educators) conference.
How will you celebrate?

I'll add a name to that list
Pauline Johnson
I meet her in university. I'll talk about her later this month.
