In the past century, women have actively worked toward shattering the stereotypes, rules, beliefs and thought patterns that keep us small and limit our power. Women have claimed their space in the world, and continue to carve out more, ensuring we have our voices heard, our work valued, and our worth recognized from without and within. We are powerful… and we are also busy. We are going, going, going, balancing all our tasks, our work, and our dreams, giving to others, giving to the world....
