To day is women's day so remember to where the colour purple

Today it is Women's day, and we ladies are pretty special the fact that we can carry a human being around inside our bodies for 9 months and give birth, and the fact that each month we have to go through a menstrual cycle, which isn't always pleasant and can make use feel groggy. 

I would never say I was a feminist as you wouldn't see me set fire to a bra or chain myself to some railings in protest if someone being sexist, but I have been a victim of sexism in the passed, one being when I used to coach my football team, and actually some of the ladies who would come to watch, could be the main ones to be sexist than the guys, as I suppose they think they aren't when it is directed at another woman, but it is. 

I do think at times, we ladies get into a rivalry at times, example when I was a Butlins, and you had girls giving you weary looks in case their boyfriend they were latched onto, looked your way, or could just be bitchy. 

We should support each other more, instead of having catty rivalries you can see a lot on the apprentice for example, and on the reality TV shows like TOWIE (The Only Way I Essex); and I always think
"What is that all about?". That never impresses me, and I was bullied by two ladies in a work place once, and so has one of my closest friends, and you think "Why, shouldn't there be a bit of girl power or a women's code of support?" and understand knowing we go through similar things each month and us ladies do tend to be a lot more emotional and try to take on a lot at times, that we should try to help each other out more, instead of getting out our claws.

The ladies in my life I would never change for the world as they have all been great support and at times inspirational people in my life and a pleasure to know and as much as I do have male friends too, one being my husband, you can't bit it when you meet up with your girl mates and have a night out. There is just something special about it. 

So lets celebrate us being women, of what we can do, forgetting about those insecurities we tend to have as we can be unkind to ourselves at times and remember as ladies we are
PRETTY DAMN SPECIAL.
