This girl has gone to camp.

I miss her.

I have to keep reminding myself that she is no longer little, that she is learning how to fly.

 When she’s not here, the nest feels very empty.

This girl has quiet confidence.

She was just voted into the student representative council at school.

She is a leader amongst her peers,

a voice.

This little lady wants to be a doctor.

Here, she wants me to stop taking her photo.

She has spent the weekend researching the subjects she’ll need to take to give her the best possible chance for entry into medicine…

in five years time.

This girl is sure of what she wants;

she is determined.

This girl went to preschool today.

Even though it was only for a small while.

She was so excited and happy to be going.

This girl is little

but she is powerful.

These little women are my inspiration.

Every day.
