Daily Reflection for Women!

November 21, 2022

365 Quotes for Women is meant to help you reflect on your life as a woman and as part of a worldwide sisterhood. As we move through our day-to-day, we often forget how vital we are and the impact we make on others as mothers, daughters, sisters, friends or mentors. This is important but often is an impossibility if we first do not create a loving relationship with ourselves. So many people struggle to see the good or the worthiness of who they are on a daily basis. Whether you are 20, 45, 60 or 85 years old, as a woman, you take on so much in a day, often forgetting about self-love and self-care. We are companions, nurturers and givers of life who we support and mentor other women. During this process, who takes care of you?

I urge you to take a year to read and reflect the thoughts offered in 365 Quotes that can help you to take stock in who you are, what you need and the joys of being a woman.
