I can't think anymore. I'm thunk out, and talked out and worked out but I feel like writing. So let's just see what this post will be about. Clearly, I would like it to be about my MamaCITA's whom I love like sisters - very much like sisters in that they also drive me nuts at times. But such is the nature of close relationships amongst women. And I'll take it.
With Women's Day upon us, to celebrate these tangley relationships is timely. My women friends are almost immediately close, sharing and personal - even my readers here. I'm always amazed at how quickly women are there to comfort, support and help heal our friends. We may get hurt but we heal and then share again. We are resilient.
We've talked about how we nurture the world around us and our own self-care sometimes goes by the wayside. But if I go to a woman friend with anything: a problem or some joy to spread, I get a ton of care.
I'll never forget leaving my book group one night just before I took of for my photoshoot for Journal Spilling. They were hugging me and applauding! I felt so warm and loved and supported in that moment. It carried me right through the process.
I'm going to plug in some photos here now. Let's see what happens. Yeah, that's good. Let's all take a moment to honor a woman we love.
Happy Women's Day. And of course, if you are in the Philadelphia area and would like to attend Miss Representation, here is the info. And PS to my Mamas, I love you and I'm sorry to be such a bossy britches.

Awwww, such a special group! Friendships like that are timeless and rare... a true treasure. And Happy Women's Day!!! I think I'll do an art journal page on Women's Day later :) Thank you, Diana, as always, for being a great inspiration!

Happy international women's day to you too Diana! Xoxo Kim
As we shall see in miss rep, a man would be called a leader rather than bossy !!!

Well said Kim. That whole concept that a man is a leader and a woman is a bitch pisses me off so much!!!!!
Diana: bossy = opinionated = intelligent = creative = Diana
