Happy International Women's Day!

Today we celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women around the world. In my town we celebrated on Saturday with a flashmob using the One Billion Rising music. It was great fun, although I was not at all proficient with the choreography. Luckily I have some pretty terrific and unique dance moves of my own LOL! Next year I will practice in advance and try to blend in more with the mob.

Here is part of the crowd walking across the bridge toward City Hall.
One of the benefits of walking around town is noticing things you haven't seen before as you're driving by.

Look what I found!
A quilt painted on the side of a random building. 
It was cold and snowy, so it's not a great photo, but it was so fun to notice how much this looks like the Quilter's Blessings quilt I finished 5 years ago!!

So, how are you celebrating International Women's Day? I will be singing at City Hall with my women's choir later today, and I will feel thankful to have had so many spectacular women role models in my life.
Here's an inspiring video to help celebrate the day...
