September Is International Women's Friendship Month
"I wish there were more hours in the day" is a common thought for most of us as we work to manage the kids' school schedules, an overdue oil change, a looming dinner party and the never-ending to-do list while still trying to find some "me time."
This September, the Confidence Coalition encourages you to celebrate International Women's Friendship Month and the women who make you confident whether you have five minutes or five days.
