Today is a special day the world over where women are
honored and celebrated as the smart, capable, beautiful humans we are! This
year one of the focal points of today is a pledge for parity and I
wholeheartedly join in this pledge!
Parity: The state or condition of being equal, especially regarding
status or pay. #PledgeforParity

About International Women’s Day:
March 8th is a global day celebrating the social,
economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a
call to action for accelerating gender parity.
Women- today is our day! I ask you- What does equality look like to
you? Does it mean fair pay? Does it mean a fairer dispersal of chores and child
rearing with your spouse? Does it mean more free time to just be still and
replenish your soul?
I invite you to
visit International Women's Day
and learn how you can take the pledge and connect with others in your community
and around the world!
For me, today is about being content with myself as a women,
wife, mother, friend and wage earner. The
latter is the hardest and most complex for me as a work at home Mom. I don’t
have a pay check waiting for me at the end of the week unless I hustle each and
every day. This is a lifestyle choice
that I’m happy with most days, but as 2015 came to a close, I felt the need to
change a few things to take better care of myself. Something we women should do
more of!
A big reason for this
change or pivot as I like to call it is due to the evolution of
blogging-digital influencer industry. It has evolved over the last two years. It has gotten far more competitive, not just
for paid assignments, but for readers! The stress of bigger, faster, prettier
can weigh on you.
That’s why at the beginning of this year I added a second
income stream to my portfolio; Avon. I knew
that if I wanted to be content in 2016, I needed to pivot. Not quit the
blogging industry, but change how I worked within it and Avon affords me that. I can stop fretting when things are slow in the blogging industry because I have a second income stream I can work.
So today, I also honor all the direct sale trailblazers who
came before me and helped build Avon into the 130 year old business it is
today! From the very beginning in 1886, Avon has been about empowering
women.
Avon’s Chief Executive Officer Sheri McCoy said something
very powerful and topical for today:
“We believe that a
world with more empowered women will create a better, more beautiful world for
everyone.“
I want to help continue to break down barriers, I want my
daughters to see me as successful business woman on my own terms, I want
to do my part to make this world a more beautiful place for everyone, so I’ll
continue to write here from my unique point of view, which is almost always positive! I’ll be sharing my Avon journey here as well. It’s a part
of My WAHM Plan now because I think it is important to show other women that working and earning at home is a possible!
I wish all women a very happy day today! Remember to value
yourself, your time and your talents today and everyday!
Please share in comments: Have you had a woman impact your life in a positive way recently? How did you thank her? And, what does equality look like to you?
When The Motherhood
sent out an email asking for volunteer #GivingTuesday social media ambassadors,
I signed up immediately because I had been putting a lot of thought into how I
might use my online voice to help others offline.
As a family, we give
a little here and there all year long; whether that’s supporting Saint Jude
when we get our hair cut, or donating our gently used clothes, toys and books
to our local Goodwill.
We believe that every donation helps, no matter how big
or small. It’s the act of giving that’s the important life lesson. We’ve always
told our girls, we may not have everything we want, but we are blessed to have
everything we need and that if we look closely, we will see someone who may be
struggling to have their needs met.
With the holidays drawing near, you may be feeling blessed
with all that you have as well, even if it isn’t all that you want. Now is the
perfect time to lend a hand to those less fortunate. #GivingTuesday can help find
a cause or non-profit that speaks to where you are in your life. This is a
fairly new initiative so here’s some information for you.
About #GivingTuesday:
#GivingTuesday was founded in 2012
by New York’s 92nd Street Y partnership with United Nations
Foundation. #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back,
encourages people to share their own giving stories and favorite giving moments
or organizations. No one charity is supported- with more than 12,000 nonprofit partners and projects, you have lots of choices on who to support and how, whether it's
a tweet or a donation.
When: #GivingTuesday
is on Tuesday December 2, 2014.
I invite you to learn
more about #GivingTuesday by visiting their website and then joining. You can
help spread the Give on Tuesday December 2, 2014 by sharing your own #Unselfie
and sharing ways you are giving by using hashtag #GivingTuesday on your social
channels. You’ll be joining your voice with charities, families, businesses,
students, community centers around the world coming together for one common
purpose, to celebrate generosity and give.
Share your Unselfie!
Here’s my #UNselfie
showing the charities my family and I choose to support this #GivingTuesday. I
hope you’ll join us and post your own #Unselfie! Tag me on Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram @ismilefirst so I can share in your giving choose. Tag

My husband and I are small business owners and while his business isn't holiday sales driven - unless you are in the market for custom furniture and cabinets, my small business is.
