As a boy mom, my life revolves all around boys: the color blue, dirt, noise and more boys! With Mother’s Day approaching, Team SCA wanted me to share with you some amazing inspiring women in my life. Team SCA is the first all female team for 10 years to compete in the Volvo Ocean Race – the world’s toughest sailing race! These are some empowered inspirational women!
Team SCA is the first truly professional all-female team to compete in the Volvo Ocean Race. This includes 13 women from all over the world, varying ages and backgrounds, stuck on a boat, working together for 20 days while they travel from Auckland, New Zealand to Itajaí, Brazil. This group of ladies are inspiring and strong!
The women who I know, love, and inspire me may not be the adventurous type to race across the sea on a boat… but they each have their own empowering and inspirational stories!
Over the years, I have met and gotten to know some amazingly strong and empowering women! These women range from family members, friends from my youth, to adult friendships I have made over the years. More recently, the women who inspire me the most are those who juggle the many responsibilities of motherhood with their faith and fitness.
I wish I could share with you why each of the women who inspire me are special. They each have their own unique characteristics. They each have their own story.
Just like the women on Team SCA, the women who I have pictured above have inspired me to be a better woman, mother, and athlete. They sweat, cry, hurt, and feel just like me. We get dirty, sweaty, stinky, cry, and laugh together. I am blessed to have met and know so many amazing women.
Just like YOU. Just like ME. As women, we are inspiring SOMEONE. We may not know who… but when we keep doing what we know is right and fighting the good fight… we are an example of an amazing woman everywhere. We are everywhere!
“… because you are warriors, because you believe!”
As a woman, we are warriors. Daily. We fight and battle on… with our families, work, daily life… because we believe. I love the photo above from Team SCA of one of the ribbons they used on their ship. What a great positive affirmation and reminder to keep going even when things get tough. We as women are strong!
SCA believes that everyone should have the opportunity to live life to the fullest. They are committed to creating value for people and nature. To champion these ideals, SCA launched Amazing Women Everywhere, a digital photo mosaic to celebrate women who have a positive impact on others.
I would like to encourage you to share who inspires YOU by submitting your own photo to the photo mosaic on Team SCA.
