#PYHO stands for Pour Your Heart Out! Each Wednesday for the past two years, one of my favorite blog, “Things I Can’t Say” did a weekly link up where you talk about whatever’s wearing down your heart or on your mind.
It was open to whatever topic you wanted to talk about. WELL, today’s link up marks 2 years of this ongoing link up. Each week I love going through the stories and seeing what others write about.
It makes you realize how awesome people really are, and the struggles they go through in life, and you find yourself relating to what they’re writing or going through at this time.
So here I am, I want to contribute. I want to write something awesome, but I just don’t know what to write about tonight. Last week, I bared my soul with my “Dear Depression” article. so this week I’m at a loss.
But not really. This month is National Women’s History Month, and the last few weeks I’ve been thinking about the amazing women in my life, and how they have helped to mentor me and shape who i am today.
This post is my tribute to them:
Dear Mom: You are one of the strongest women I know. You have been through a lot in your life, and you have done a lot for my brother and me. I just want to say thank you for loving me for who I have become, and supporting me through my journey in life, wherever it happens to take me.
Dear Grandma Frankenfield: You were the first woman to show me it was okay to show an opinion, and to let others know how it’s going to be in your house. And that it’s okay to be vocal. People will still respect and love you because of it 😉
Dear Grandma Ida: You taught me love, compassion, and showed me a love of cooking. I always looked forward to your meals, and loved watching you cook in the kitchen. Of course, I loved playing card games with you too.
Dear Women of Cub: I’d love to name you, but I don’t want to single you out. But there are a few of you that come to mind. You truly showed me that women could be successful in a job. You showed me that I could get into management, that I could work through the corporate ladder, and that women could do any job that a man could do. Although, it didn’t work out for me in this profession, I still very much appreciate and admire you.
Dear Amazing Blogging Ladies: Each one of you has shown me strength. Strength in writing about something personal. Strength in being a mother, or strength of being in business. The strength that it is possible to chase after your dreams, and for others, the strength of taking care of a family. It is beautiful to watch. And I thank you for that.
To the Future Women I have yet to meet: I know when you come into my life, you will teach me something. You will show me something new, and I will look on with admiration.
The thing is, there are so many amazing women surrounding me. It always makes me think back to “why are women so catty sometimes?” We work so much better when we are supportive of one another and lift each other up as opposed to trying to bring others down. Anyways, I just want you all to know that I admire, respect, and look forward to future interactions. You are amazing women,embrace it =)
