International Women's Day

Here on the East coast of the USA, International Women's day just ended. Angela (www.hereisangela.com) points out that International Women's day has socialist origins, which is probably why I never heard of it until I moved to Europe. Ironically, a pastor I met who used to work in the former Eastern block told me that a friend of his relies on the holiday to keep his flower shop from going under. Ah, the cold realities of capitalism.

So to my mother, my sisters, Dani and all of you other ladies, happy Women's day! May you be blessed and free.
