Celebr8ing Womynhood
On the 1st day of January 2007, I almost did not get to celebrate New Year because I was more of “in the middle” rather than “at the beginning” of something then (i.e., completing a project, preparing for Zambia, et al).
On the 14th of February, I did not celebrate Valentine’s Day just ‘coz I never really could relate to the whole idea of it.;)
But I could not let today, the 8th of March, go by just like I let all the other supposed red-letter days pass me by. After all, as I’ve said before, Womyn’s Day, to me, is more relevant, more meaningful, and more personal than some way-too commercialized “special occasions” ever will be. Heck, I even wore purple today.:D
At the end of the day, however, this occasion is not just about wearing the representative color for women's advancement or spelling the word womon/womyn the politically correct way. Rather, it is about commemorating THESE :

Celebrating the values of justice and self-respect. Celebrating empowerment. Celebrating life. Celebrating oneself.
That is what it’s all about.
Happy International Womyn's Day!
