"Who run the world?! - GIRLS"
I can imagine this Queen B song will be played across radios and quoted by a lot of women in their tweets today. It's International Women's Day and it's a day to celebrate women alike. I'm sure a few blogger's are going to be writing similar posts to this one today, but there are women who inspire me and they just need a shoutout! Here are the women that inspire me:
MY MAM
Without a doubt the most inspiring women in my life. What can I say, this woman is bloody incredible! She has brought me up with true values and principles which have carried me through my life so far. She taught me to find that inner strength I didn't realise I had, she's made me laugh through the tough times with her (sometimes crappy) jokes and is the one person I can count on for anything. It's also because of her that I support Liverpool Football Club. That's the biggest inspiration she could have ever have given me - and the best.
MY GIRLS
Yas, my besties are just fabulous. I don't know where I would be without them. From listening to my ever-growing problems to drinking cocktails until we can barely walk. My friends have given me the most amazing memories, some I will truly never forget. Whether I've known them just two years (my Scwelsh Sam and fellow Danny Ings fan-girl Katie), met them through college seven years ago (Gabby), met them through my illness (hiya Tash!) , went to Melwood with them (Saffron) , met them through my tiring childcare job (Lucy no.2) or they've been by my side for 22 LONG years (yes Woodruff, I mean you!) thank you for being my inspirations. You're my sweethearts and I love yas to bits.
MY COLLEGE TUTORS
I'm not sure if my old college friends would agree with me on this one, but hear me out. When I first started college, I thought that there was no way I could ever pass the two courses I took in my three years there. I'm not the brightest star in the sky and I think I literally have no common sense. However, the guidance that my college tutors gave me and inspiring me to keep going when I wanted to give up is something I'll always be grateful to them for. I've always said that college made me the person I am today; it's down to them.
BLOGGING FRIENDS
I've said it once and I'll say it again, all my blogger friends are wonderful. They inspire me to keep writing when I just feel like my content is s**t and just want to stop writing altogether. One girl I want to mention in particular is Julia. What an absolute beaut of a girl she is! I never would have known that when we started responding to each other's tweets that we would become good friends a couple of years later, drinking rose overlooking Albert Dock (we're due a catch up soon, love!). She is doing such amazing things, from working full time alongside her new business, she is an inspiration to me.
MEGHAN MARKLE
This woman is just a fantastic role model for feminism. Plus she's married to Prince Harry. She's one lucky woman. I love how she has continued to fight for feminism whilst she's married in the Royal Family, it's just incredible. I need to say that the Queen is definitely another inspiration to us all, well, she's the most powerful woman in the world, how could she not be an inspiration to us?
Who are the women that inspire you?

Love this post, it’s so great to be surrounded by inspiring women! I’d definitely include my mum and my nan, and all of my friends!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Chloe! My Nan is another inspiration of mine too!
DeleteAh I love this post! So many inspiring women to the list. I have to say the most inspiring woman to me has to be my mum too. I would love to add Audrey Hepburn to the list too, not only a beautiful woman but did a lot of humanitarian work too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

DeleteMy daughters. They are so much stronger and braver than I could ever hope to be.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding us of a much needed and always necessary lesson: life is about seeing the grandeur in each other, especial fellow women.
That’s such a lovely thing to say! I’m sure your daughters are proud of you too!
DeleteGreat post Lucy! It's important to think about those women around you. There are soo many people around you that are inspiring. For me it's everyone from my Mum to my friends and work colleagues. It's good to see women supporting women.

DeleteLove the fact you went for 'ordinary' people - I'm always inspired by my besties and my little sis who is a fab mum
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely, it's usually the people around who inspire you the most, sometimes without realising it
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful post! I am almost tempted to write a post about the women who inspire me, even though International Women's Day has already passed. I'm just now setting up my blog though and getting my first couple posts out and setting it up.
ReplyDeleteThank you also for reminding us that the women who inspire us don't necessarily have to be celebrities or professional athletes. Even though you can still be inspired by them as well.
