Pardon once again the double up of entries. Blogging is a
little harder than just dashing off a quick sentence or two and posting on
Facebook (perhaps that’s what I should have done).
This week, I’m very glad for the democratic process. Aside
from party lines and partisan issues (face it, we’re all tired of those), I
just feel very blessed to be able to vote. It’s easy to forget that 100 years
ago, women weren’t able to vote. Women’s Suffrage was 150 years in the making
and man did we have to work at it. I’m thankful every day that I’m allowed to
have some part in the legislative process, even a small one. I vowed early on
that I’d never let that go to waste.
Going with the woman-hear-me-roar theme, I’m also thankful
to be surrounded by strong, powerful, inspiring women. I work in an office that
is comprised of 75-80% women. The roles of leadership are held by mostly women.
Glass ceiling be damned! Even in the University, I don’t have to look very far
to see powerful women. Now, I just have to choose to be inspired and not feel
like I’ve been left behind in the academic/career world.
