Lady Mallicote

Each time I receive an entry I want to honour it’s author. Women are such remarkable creatures. We are multi-taskers, caretakers and care givers. Lovers, friends, confidants, advisors, nurse, teacher, the list could go on forever.

Today’s entry is dedicated to “Lady Mallicote”. I think that we should all be given the honour of “Lady” for we certainly deserve it…


"…after almost two intense weeks of everything that can go wrong at work that did and then spending the few hours after work at home dealing with the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde behaviours of my husband who has quit his nicotine addiction cold turkey (canned snuff, ewwww) and of course remaining calm and level headed, trying not to stress or take anything 'personally,' making sure the boys make it to their baseball games on the right days at the right times, cooking dinner... and all the while somehow fitting in time for a shower and sleep. Thus, haven't been keeping up with my usual blog reading rounds,and my own posting is paltry at best."

Here's my list:

Betty Carolyn - my mom
Kaye B
Roxanne L
Jill F
Elizabeth H
Britt S
Brandee S
Nancy M
Melanie L
Becky G
Sue M

All ladies in their own right... Congratulations!

Only one today...

From my good friend Arlene of Calgary:

Helen R. (My Mom) for the wonderful person she is for always being there in times of need.

Thanks Ar!

If You Build It...

With the exception of Roxanne, I have yet to hear from you out there. You don't need to sign up to make a comment nor do you have to give anything but a first name and last initial.

The phrase "If you build it they will come." keeps turning over in my mind so I have faith that you will come and let us all know of, the wonderful women out there, the every day women, that you personally know, that deserve to be honoured.

Today's List...

I would like to add my own personal list and then give FIRST HONOURS to ROXANNE from Texas who sounds like she certainly deserves top billing in this Hall of Fame:

Shirley M - my mom,
Margaret M - my Grandmother M (for sure, she had 13 kids!),
Shirlely R - my aunt who struggled with and eventually died of breast cancer,
Margaret W -my cousin who created a Wellness Clinic and has become very successful in spreading the good word across Canada. Closer
Lois L - who is forever generous and giving, not to mention non-judgmental,
Evelyn D. - for her determination to hold onto a belief when others said she should walk away,
Anh T - for her dedication to her son,
Janet L - for her lifetime quest to find and spread joy,
Maggie H - for her admirable and total devotion to family and friends, (she sure kept my head above water on a few occasions),
Gail G - for always being there in times of need,
Connie H - who is challenged every day with the disease MS,
Pat R - who stayed at home to take care of her family rather than pursue a career,
Arlene O - who shows more compassion than anyone I have ever met
Judy B – who has a kind and loving heart
Cheryl K - who believes in angels.

(All the above women are remarkable daughters, mothers, wives and friends and from Margaret W. down, with the exception of Connie H. and Pat R., all hold full time 8 hour a day jobs.)
