Thoughtful Thursday

• Today is International Women's Day - Did you know that Wyoming was the first state to allow women to vote in 1869? Although women have made great strides in the workplace and education, they are still oppressed in many countries. So celebrate being a woman today, celebrate women's empowerment, and celebrate life.
• Hot yoga - Yes I know I blogged about it last week, but let me tell you, its wonderful. Its perhaps the only 90 minutes where I am concentrated on nothing but me. Remember, everyone needs me time. Try to take at least 90 minutes a week to clear your head, take a deep breathe and marvel in all that is you.
• KONY - I noticed an influx of Kony videos on my facebook feed. So I did a little research. I know that the Invisible Children campaign has been alive since about 2005, as I remember the flyers and such on my college campus. However, have you seen how the organization actually spends it money? I am all for supporting charities and non-profits, but I want to know where my money goes. Look into Invisible Children and how much they actually put towards the cause.
• And my inspiring quote this Thursday:

Relax. Breathe in deep. Hold it. Let it out. Loosen your shoulders. Smile. Close your eyes. You'll be surprised at how many voices you'll hear, whispering sweet encouragement into your ear. ~ Mike Dooley

Have a lovely Thursday all. ~The Illegal Blonde
