Happy International Women's Day
International Women’s Day began in 1911 as a call for equality, and today, we honor not just the progress made but the everyday strength, kindness, and wisdom of women everywhere.
At Modern Prairie, we are endlessly inspired by the grace, support, and friendships blossoming in this beautiful community. You remind us daily that when women lift each other up, incredible things happen.
Today, we invite you to celebrate with us—drop a tribute in the comments to the woman who has shaped your life the most. A mother, a sister, a mentor, a friend—who inspires you every day?
We can't wait to read each and every tribute, and we'll be celebrating these wonderful women with you!
Let’s fill this space with love and gratitude. 💜✨

I thank God for my mother…Maria Beal. She was an orphan in Chile and came to the US, with 3 sisters, when she was 15. Her story is truly amazing, and she met my dad in CA in 1949. They were married 67 years. I praise God for how she loved my dad and me all her years! She was an example of a loving wife, dedicated mother, and godly woman who loved Jesus most of all. Now she is in heaven with Him for all eternity.
There are many women who have inspired me throughout my life, from family members to friends and famous women. Today, the women who inspire me most are the working single moms. It’s absolutely exhausting—getting up each day, getting kids ready for daycare or school, working an eight (or longer) hour day, picking kids up, going to extracurricular activities, cooking, cleaning, and maintaining a house, and trying to be both mom and dad to do the very best you can to raise your children. It’s an incredible feat, yet millions of women do it each day just to ensure their children have food in their mouths and a roof over their head. Each day may be a great struggle, yet they still get up, and do it again. Hats off to these amazing women who do everything in their power to ensure a brighter future for the generations to come.

The matriarchs of my grandparents continue to shape my life. One grandmother was Native American and the other grandmother was Irish. They both told their stories from their childhood that was told to them about The Trail of Tears and The Irish Potato Famine. We must remember both our ancestors history and our world history.We must never forget who we are and where we came from so that future lives will be inspired.
