Hey, Y’all!

It’s Women’s History Month!!

Every year, we focus on women’s accomplishments from the past to the present. This week, I want us to support the women of Ukraine still fighting an unjust war through our thoughts and prayers.

Did you know their flag has the colors of yellow and blue, just like Middle-Pause? They also transformed their national symbol of peace, the sunflower, into a symbol of resistance.

Since the Ukrainian War began, these women have suffered and stood defiant against their aggressor, Russia. I wrote a story three years ago celebrating their efforts that is still relevant today:

Let’s celebrate women everywhere!

Those who’ve struggled, been abused, and forgotten. Women who are lonely and feel invisible.

Let’s form bonds with them. Because we are stronger together. Holding hands, we can build bridges from the valley to the mountaintop.
