Women’s History Month 2026-Leading the Change

2026 Women’s History Month- “Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future.”

The theme for Women’s History Month in 2026 is ‘Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future”. This month became officially known as Women’s History Month in 1987. Before then, it was only a week-long celebration.

The month of March we recognize the way women have helped to shape the world. We multitask and do it all while not complaining. Late nights we are up with the baby, to quiet their cries. Singing lullabies.

We wake up after only 2 hours of sleep and get the kids ready for school. Pack lunches and dress the kids. After that we get ready for our day at work.

A full day of work, making deadlines and forging alliances in our career. Positively, changing the climate with those we work with and beyond. Mothers we are, and careers we have. Friends, sisters, and confidants. Always there to nurture wounds. Providing a shoulder to cry on and just being there to listen.

Creating a soft landing for those who may need support.

Women’s History Month gives us the opportunity to lift, appreciate, and take note of the progress of women. We now have the right to vote, can legally get an education, join the military, among other basic human rights. Women still face discrimination in the workplace when it comes to salary. Everyone can ban together, in an effort, to reduce or eliminate discrimination in the workplace.

It is important that people know and understand that women do not always have it easy. Don’t let the looks fool you. Women work hard and juggle a lot of responsibilities. We are mothers too and it is a joy to wear the hat of being a parent. Unfortunately, some people view motherhood as a downside when it comes to equal opportunity. Therefore, mothers are not always afforded the same chance that is given to their male counterparts.

Ways you can celebrate

  • If you know someone who may benefit from hearing your story, consider sharing; you just might save a life and inspire someone else to tell their story in the future.
  • Send a quick thank you note or text message to a woman that you admire. Someone who has had a positive impact on your life.
  • Use your social media platforms to spread the word about Women’s History Month to raise awareness.
  • Support women-owned businesses.
  • Empower girls and young women with your knowledge so that they know that they matter, and they can make a difference in this world.

The month of March is almost over but we continue to make history all year long!  💕Happy Women’s History Month! 💕

Let’s show some love for Women’s History Month! Lift each other up and don’t forget to hug yourself and smile. You deserve it! 🌺

Four Faces of Mother Nature

Four Faces of Mother Nature

Fall Leaves
Fall in line with the leaves on a tree branch 
The wind blows them as they do a random dance
Just enough heat and the right amount of cool
Better enjoy it now, maybe take a dip in the pool

The hawk is approaching as winter nears
Cover up the hands, head and the ears
Not much sunlight this time of year
Short days, long nights as the spring appears

Itchy throat, runny nose, watery eyes
The price to pay for warmer months is the demise
Flowers are blooming and the bird's chirp
Just hearing it brings about a smirk

It's time for summer dresses and vacations
New clothes for those far away destinations
Places to make memories, relax and have a ball
Knowing that soon autumn will fall

Four Faces of Mother Nature is written in response to the W3 Prompt #157.

Morphing for Mind, Body and Soul

Transformation
Taking those pieces and
Remnants from life's experiences
And using it for
New purpose in life's journey
Shapes the way
Forward and forges
Opportunities for growth
Rebirth of the mind and soul
Makes room for the body to
Adhere to its natural order
To fall in line with the trio
In which all alignment
Originates and keeps everything
Nice and smooth

The acrostic poem, Morphing for Mind, Body and Soul, is written in response to the W3 Prompt #156: Wea’ve Written Weekly – The Skeptic’s Kaddish 🇮🇱. Thank you, David and Carol Anne.

Being Stumped By Change

—Romans 12:2

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will. —

🦋🦋🦋

Change is upon us every day. Whether we are ready for it or not. It happens. Sometimes in that changing, we get stumped. We may not know what direction to take or what exactly we need to do.

It is not easy to change things about ourselves. The uncertainty and not knowing what will happen next. I just implore you to follow your heart. Love yourself and others.

Stay well and be blessed. 🙏❤️

Quote of the Day-Change


“In the waves of change, we find our true direction.”

— Author Unknown

The one thing that we can always count on in life is change. It is inevitable. No way to escape or ignore it. Opportunity presents itself in those waves of change. We can adapt to it and make the best of it, or we can use it to find a new direction. Unfolding discoveries about life and ourselves will afford us the chance to learn what we may not have otherwise known.
