For the first time in history, a woman is Vice Pre For the first time in history, a woman is Vice President. Today is a historical day. ⁣
⁣
This post isn’t about how you feel about politics or how you feel about or if you think the Vice President is a role model nor is it about who you or I voted for. ⁣
This post is about the little girl I am standing next to. A little girl who has her entire life ahead of her to see women in powerful positions, women in charge and female leadership that is celebrated. ⁣
⁣
A little girl who may grow up and want to pursue becoming a doctor, a writer, a politician, a professional athlete, a teacher , an accountant or take after her mom and become a nurse. Whatever her dreams may be; today signifies that the sky is the limit, that she and all the other little girls out there watching this historic day, can become whatever they want. ⁣
⁣
So no matter what you think about today, let’s celebrate encouraging our children to pursue their dreams and someday making history of their own. ⁣

Grateful Warrior; a print from the lovely and tale Grateful Warrior; a print from the lovely and talented @lindsey.erin. A wonderful artist (for real check out her stuff) and person who inspires me daily with her creativity and positivity. ⁣
⁣
This print means so many different things to me in this season of my life. ⁣
It’s a reminder that I am a strong woman who doesn’t give up easily. Someone who aspires to do more, be more. As a partner, mother, friend. ⁣
⁣
It’s also a reminder to be grateful for the opportunities I have and the power of my light I send out into this world. I glance at it everyday, hanging in my office reminding me to be the grateful warrior that I am.⁣
