In honour of International Women's Day, I'm posting a little quote/drawing I did for my guest bedroom:

A reminder that size does not determine one's strength...and a nod to all the wonderful women in my life who make me want to be a better person and who offer such examples of strength in so many diverse ways!

It's international women's month, so today I'm choosing a short & punchy quote:

{she persisted}

That quote could simply read 'she persisted' and it would reveal the strength of so many women, past and present, who have persisted in the face of adversity. Whether it's famine, abuse, discrimination, or simply the challenges of everyday life.
Last weekend I had a group of amazing women over for brunch. We met through poppy loves bookclub in London and I invited them out for a 'day in the country'. We brunched and chatted and then went for a country walk. By the end of the day, I felt lighter, happier, and simply positive.

{all laughs!}

 It's wonderful what happens when you surround yourself with amazing women.
Thanks to all the inspiring women in my life!

{Happy International Women's Day!}

I am so grateful for all the amazing women in my life, who inspire me everyday. I aim to be a better person because of you all. I am most grateful that I live in an environment where my thoughts, work, opinions, and independence matter, are appreciated, and generally supported. I know others do not have so many opportunities and I count my blessings.
Cheers to all the wonderful women in my life: the pictures say it all...
