Thank you (on International Women's Day) for all that you are; scientists, astronauts, mothers, composers, comedians, carers. Thank you for your powerful soul, your nurturing soul. You are mother nature, boats set sail and mother earth. You are magician, juggler, friend and companion, leader, lover, teacher, listener.
When I grow up I want to be like my favourites; Ella Fitzgerald, Sally Morgan, Kay Cottee, Samantha Stosur, Jane Evelyn Atwood, Lane Beachley, Coco Chanel, Audrey Hepburn, Dame Joan Sutherland, Grace Kelly, Edith Piaf, Billie Holiday, Amelia Earhart, Gertrude Stein, Jane Austen, Cathy Freeman, Dorothea Mackeller and Dame Edna Everage...
And to my wonderful female friends, you are my real favourites; you are kind and strong, warm and funny, smart, beautiful and successful. In your company I am myself, I am heard, I am cherished.
And to my Mother and Sister and Sister-in-law, you are my ABSOLUTE favourites! The intimacy of family connection, the bond through blood and love and values, the natural friendship.
I want to thank my Grandma's (all four of them.) You showed me how to make life an adventure. You: singers, lion tamers, travellers, darts champions, dare devils.
So 'sisters' let's join hands and celebrate this day, this world, this life, in the only way we know how, as women; as powerful, wonderful, awesome, soaring women!
Love from JoJo
