Inspiring women

Each week on the Mishy Mishion we're tasked with a 'weekly challenge'. Last week was the Push Up Challenge (from hell) - 300 down and done oh yeah.... This week it's the step-up challenge.... probably less said about that the better (but there's still tomorrow to go, so you never know!).

BUT my favourite so far was Week 1's Inspiration Board challenge.

I looked forward to checking out everyone's boards, but (and this sounds delightfully snooty) was a little disappointed. I totally get why we want to look hot, and pictures of god damn gorgeously sexy women abounded.... but seriously, don't we want more than a nice arse? I found myself thinking - is this the sum of our ambitions as women?

FUCK NO.

I've got an articulate, beautiful, intelligent & slightly off the wall 15 year old daughter - what kind of role models, nay, what kind of woman do I dream she will become?

What kind of woman do I inspire to be?

I can tell you right now that I don't dream that she'll have a nice ass. And mine.... well it's already smoking so.....

I thought long and hard & ignored Mish's edict to go to bed early as I pulled together my inspiration board of INSPIRING WOMEN.

They're not all angels. Hell some of them were or are down right bitches. But each has a quality that I admire, that something that I want in myself - and for our next generation of strong, confident & inspirational women.

Some of these you will know straight away and some you're yet to meet - I'll introduce them to you one by one as I go through this journey, as I pull from those strengths that I admire in each of them.
