Celebrating my Sisters!

Happy International Women's Day!

This day means a lot to me in so many ways. I am thankful to the women who came before me and fought for the rights I have now. I am thankful for all the women in my life that have mentored, inspired, and supported me over the years. Last, but not least, I am so thankful to all the women my age I have met that are so inspirational and supportive.

Some of the incredible ladies I reunited with at the Passion to Purpose Bootcamp this weekend (More on the experience to come) 

This International Women's Day I have chosen to celebrate my sisters. They are the reason that I give one hundred percent in everything I do, and why I strive to be a good example. They all have so much potential, I am proud of each and every one of them, and I am so excited about the things they are capable of doing in the future!

Nancy Secker

My beautiful sister Nancy is nineteen and has a truly unique energy to her. She has a fierce spirit and nothing can get in her way if she puts her mind to it. She currently studies psychology at Carleton University, is our family photographer (Thanks for the pics Nancy), and a barista at Starbucks! What I love the most about Nancy is her empathy, genuine care for other people, and her desire to make a difference. 


Hannah Secker: 

Hannah is seventeen and in grade eleven. We have this unique bound having worked together with horses several times. Hannah is an academic, excelling in Math and Science. However, she has a greater passion for theater, the arts, and plans to pursue them in the future. Her ability to adapt to her surroundings, socialize with others, and learn new skills has me positive that she will go far. I hope to personally recruit her for some of my projects when she is done school because I can trust her and she follows my directions well. She has so much character and it makes her a joy to be around. 

Emma Secker

Emma is fourteen years old and in grade nine. As a small child, I used to call Emma my "Sweet Angel" and that nickname still applies. Emma has an infectious personality, a drive to push herself, and some incredible talents. She is musical, incredible with children, and hard working. Her future plans include music and she would love to travel to London England someday. If she continues to work hard, I know she will go far! 

Lucy Secker

Lucy is ten years old and has the sweetest soul. Every time I come home she gives me the biggest hug ever and is always eager to hear my stories. Lucy loves to dance and she puts her whole soul into it. She is crafty, witty, and smart. I'm looking forward to seeing how her talents progress in the coming years. 

Julianna Secker

Julianna is seven years old and the cutest little button (And she wants you to know that her favorite color is purple)! She always makes me laugh! Julianna has a love for art, often seen sketching images of horses and unicorns (a girl after my own heart)! She also wants to go with me to Africa someday. Clearly has an adventurous spirit! I've sadly missed out on a lot of Julianna's childhood since she was born pretty late in my life but thankfully with technology, I still get to watch her grow and progress.

A big shout out to my Mother and Grandmother who I believe have inspired all my sisters and I to push hard and be our best selves. These two women have taken on incredible challenges and rose above them. We are so blessed to have them in our lives. 

I'll be honest, Frozen 2 kind of inspired this post as it made me think of my sisters very much and what they mean to me! I am so blessed to have them all in my life! Who are you thinking of this International Women's Day? What women in your life inspire you?
