2019 Womanhood Award Nomination
Everyone wants to be remembered for the good they have done. As women, we know the opportunities to do good are abundant and we inherently give to others without thought of praise or reward, because we know that by giving, we are also receiving.
“Don't wish to be normal. Wish to be yourself. To the hilt. Find out what you're best at, and develop it, and hopscotch your weaknesses. Wish to be great at whatever you are. Have the "Courage to be You". This year we will be looking for a woman in the community that has the personal courage to be who they truly are and proud to display it.
“It takes courage to dream, to face our futures and the limiting forces within us. It takes courage to be determined that, as we slow down physically, we are going to grow even more psychologically and spiritually. Courage, the philosopher Aristotle taught us, is the most important of all the virtues, because without it we can’t practice any of the others. Courage is the nearest star that can guide our growth. Maya Angelou said we must be courageous about facing and exploring our personal histories. We must find the courage to care and to create internally, as well as externally, and as she said, we need the courage “to create ourselves daily as thinking, caring, laughing, loving human beings.”
Additionally, each woman who is nominated will receive a copy of the letter of recognition whether they are selected or not for this year's award because we also know how important it is to thank those who make a difference in our lives. The letter she receives honoring her will be a heartwarming gift to know that she is needed and appreciated.
