March 8 - International Women's Day

I love the way Polish people celebrate this day: ordinary women that make a difference.

From a tiny girl to a grandmother they usually receive a symbolic 1 tulip from brother, father, friend, boyfriend, classmate or office colleague- to say simply that every woman is special.

I am double spoiled this day because my parents played a trick and choose my name day to be on March 8 as well :)

For clarification, according to my brother, it does not mean that I am automatically entitled to 2 tulips - oh well, he gets away by cooking something special.

BTW Beatrice means happy and bringing joy
so can't think of better way to break the silence but
-Happy International Women's Day!
