“Mother, sisters, wives, girlfriends and fiancees…what would we ever do without them? Nobody can honestly say we don’t owe an enormous amount to the women in our lives, from the mothers who made us chicken soup when we were sick as children, to the sisters who helped us decide what to wear on our first date, to the wives who somehow manage to juggle both a career and a family, never missing a beat. Women’s Day is all about celebrating these incredible people and showing them how much we love, respect and value them. This holiday is perhaps especially important in parts of the world where women are still forced to deal with shocking inequality on a daily basis and is meant to raise awareness of the challenges and struggles faced by these women. Women’s Day celebrates women’s history, highlighting key events, milestones and achievements, and aims to further promote and raise awareness of women’s rights and to achieve equal opportunity status in all walks of life.”

Let it be, Paul McCartney

The lyrics and the music of an amazing song. Words of wisdom! 
Enjoy and click here! 

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
And though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Let it be, let it be.
Yeah there will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be,
Let it be, let it be.
Yeah there will be an answer, let it be.

And though the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine until tomorrow, let it be.
O, will I make up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Shrove Tuesday / Pancake day

Do you know that ...

"(...) Shrove Tuesday varies from year to year. 
It is the day preceding the beginning of Lent, or Ash Wednesday, and is therefore dependant on where Easter falls, which is based on the cycles of the sun and the moon.
4. ‘Shrove’ refers to the religious rite of being shriven – confessing one’s sins – before the start of Lent.
5. As one is supposed to refrain from eating meat, eggs, milk and butter during the 40 days of Lent, making pancakes became a way of using up all those remaining ingredients left in the house."(in http://www.southerngazette.ca/news/local/2017/2/28/shrove-tuesday---happy-pancake-day-.html)
