I wrote a post yesterday about celebrating this day, but decided to visit the importance of Women’s Issues one more time – with a song! Helen Reddy wrote and sang a song called “I am Woman” several generations ago that continues to be the song many women world-wide look to for inspiration. And I agree. We still do “…have a long way to go – but look how far we’ve come” (lyrics from her song)!
Just know that each and every woman on this planet is important. We continue to make a positive difference with each passing day! Why? Because we can!
Thank you and thank you Helen!

Hi Pat! Thank you, my friend! Very, very much appreciated by me!
Reblogged this on It Is What It Is and commented:
Unforgettable song!! 1975 … United Nations … the year of the woman!!!
Still love this song and thanks for the uplifting post for us, Penny! ♥
Hi Lauren, yes I do too. You’re very welcome – you and I know how true her words are don’t we, dear friend of mine! xx
I remember singing this back in my singing days (around the house)! 🙂 xo
Me too, me too, me too! I think there was a whole bunch of us doing the very same thing. It was a song for women to sing to (and learn the words, so we could sing with considerable emotion)! Some pretty fine things have come from this song, my friend! 🙂 xo
Still a great song #aussie
Be good to yourself

I love Aussies in general, don’t know if it’s your independent spirit or just some excellent personalities to be found down under. I agree it is still a great song! You be good to you too! xx
