Women.

Right now, I am feeling like a woman. Let me explain.
I am sitting in my living room of my apartment that I cleaned top to bottom after going to the grocery store to buy food to make lunch before I do my returns. Today has basically been a girl to-do day and I'm ok with that.
I was put in charge of a bulletin board on my floor. I wanted to make something that inspired kids to be great, the moto of the club. I'm all about quotes so I chose one by Dr. Suess: “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” 

On Friday, I was having the kids draw what they wanted to be when they grew up. We were talking about music and the kid's favorite song. All the girls started singing "Girl on Fire" by Alica Keys. I'm not sure if it was the little voices singing off key or all the smiles on their faces but in that moment I was so glad to be in the presence of such strong women. These little 7-year-old girls are the future women and if they can be so proud of themselves and have dreams and aspirations, I'd say that we are in capable hands. They can choose where they want to go and if they choose to be powerful women, so be it. After all, they are on fire and there is not slowing them down.
