I SALUTE ALL MY SISTERS TODAY
Today, I salute all my sisters around the globe. Today we remember and thank our female ancestors for championing this day for us.
Briefly, this day started with a handful of women in New York City on March 8, 1857 to end the inequalities in the work place. The movement was squashed at that time but the idea and the will of women wasn't. Years later on March 8, 1908, again in New York City, women rallied to stop child labor and demand to vote in elections and this was following their sisters movement some 51 years later. During French revolution Parisian women marched for "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity" to demand women's suffrage. In 1909 first Women's Day was observed in Europe on February 28. Later continued to be observed on the last Sunday's of February until 1914. Between 1910-1914 International Women's Day was celebrated on different days in different countries. On March 8, 1914 women in Europe held rallies to protest the war and expressed solidarity with all women around the world and by March 8, 1917 International Women's Day reached global dimensions.
There is still a lot of work to be done for women's rights globally, but as the saying goes " a women's work is never done".

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR
WISHING YOU ALL A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR
I made this little arrangement from my garden plants. With the addition of couple of golden balls it looks very festive. The Holly bush in my back yard has become a large tree. It gives beautiful berries and is still growing. I usually incorporate them in most of my floral arrangements.

SEASON'S GREETINGS
Any holiday is a cause for celebration in all faiths. Some people may not understand the true meaning of the celebration by making it difficult for themselves. They think they have to buy the perfect gift, bake the perfect pie etc. and have to buy the biggest tree and decorate it to the hilt. To me a holiday is a good time to reflect on what it stands for. What are we celebrating and why? After that the rest seems secondary. A little gift bought with thought has more meaning than to give something expensive and useless. It is easy to buy and give any gift when one has the means, but it is more meaningful when given by one without the means. The latter is done with sacrifices and and purely from the heart. Holiday is a time to gather with family and good friends. Give time to those who are lonely, feed the ones who are hungry.
I wish everyone who reads my blog a very happy, healthy holiday season and a prosperous new year.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
I love Thanksgiving holiday for what it stands for. To me it signifies the grass roots of our country, being an American and love of this land. When we sit around the table with my family I look around and find so many things to be thankful for. To see my husband sitting besides me, to see my parents around and I am thankful that I am alive and able to prepare yet another Thanksgiving meal. I wish everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Some years ago we were invited to a Halloween party. I don't like to be mainstream so my husband and I came up with this idea that we should wear costumes that were not going to be scary. We decided to be Raggedy Ann and Andy. We were a hit among the children. Little boys and girls came up to us and pulled our hands and we went along with it. It was so sweet. It was much better than being scary. (although a friend of ours really scared us when he came to the party dressed as an accident victim).
