March 8th has been set a side as International Women's Day and is celebrated in many countries throughout the world with the purpose of connecting all women. It is a day to recognize all women's achievements regardless of their culture, religion or political affiliations.

The week of International Women's Day is an excellent time to reflect on the women in our immediate and distant history.

Here are seven prompts to help you reflect.

Day One: Who is a woman in your family you admire?

Day Two: Who is a woman in history you respect?

Day Three: Write about a woman teacher who affected you in a positive way.

Day Four: Why should women feel empowered?

Day Five: How can a woman empower herself?

Day Six: What do women all over the world have in common?

Day Seven: Why is it important to celebrate and support women?

Even though expressed as a question that may provide a one sentence answer, elaborate on your answers. Meditate, reflect and enjoy remembering these women.
