Women share and help each other with empowerment for a balanced life!
First the males came and fought over the feeder, dumping the nectar on the ground. Then the female oriole and gila woodpecker came and shared the feeder - hummingbird was waiting patiently nearby.
My parents got it half right... the boys had to do housework as much as the girls and the girls had to do yard work. But no way could the girls build something or work on a car. Although I must say, when I learned to drive my Dad made me change all four tires on the car... just in case. Too bad he didn't show me about changing the oil, I wouldn't have been stuck on the highway for a few hours!!
When my children were grown I was working at a wholesaler that sold hardwood flooring. My boss had gone for the day and it was almost quitting time when the phone rang. It was a gentleman who ordered all parts of a house (windows, doors, flooring, counters, etc), put them in a container and shipped them to Japan. He wanted to look at our flooring. Since I had just recently started I asked a salesman to help me out, as he knew all the inventory. So the gentleman arrived a half hour late, at almost 6 pm. Asking questions about the flooring he kept looking at the salesman even though I was answering. While I was answering the third question he looked at me and asked "Don't you have a husband and children to get home to?"
It is also Women's History Month in some parts of the world, and here below you may discover some empowered women in history!
