Women’s History Month
Here in the State of Nevada we have a long history of some pretty amazing women - pioneers who were forced to settle in parts of Nevada that honestly, I find it shocking that rocks survive. I mean in the middle of nowhere with absolutely nothing but vast space, heavy winds and lots of snow in the winter. Yet, they survived it all and many managed to get an education and raise children. You have to admire their tenacity, shear will and strength to endure such conditions. (If you ever have the opportunity to visit the ghost town of Bodie, CA - go and you will see exactly what I’m talking about.)
Has much changed today? Maybe the walls in our house are thicker and we don’t have to bring our groceries home on a donkey, but I still feel like one of those pioneering women. Any woman who owns her own business knows exactly what I’m talking about. The ups, the downs, the joys, the tears, the fun, the struggles. I consider myself one of today’s pioneering women, blazing a unique trail of financial education designed to enlighten so many. I hope one day in the future, successive generations of women will look back at what so many of us (fabulous women from all around the world) have accomplished both personally and professionally, and in turn admire us for our courage, strength and tenacity to move this planet forward into better conditions. We all leave an imprint and I strongly believe it has to be even that much better for those who will follow in our tracks. Celebrate Women’s History Month by celebrating all of the wonderful women in your life!
