We honored celebrities, friends, moms, and
neighbors. We celebrated you and your
children. We recognized athletes,
scientists, news reporters, survivors, those who are thriving, writers,
singers, advocates and more. In 2012 we paid
tribute to approximately 35 women who are providing us with inspiration and
reminding us that when we are called to action we must listen. We also were reminded that even the smallest
of actions can make a huge impact in the lives of others. I want to thank all of the guest bloggers who helped to make
Wednesday’s Woman a shining highlight at Sperk*. I have a great amount of gratitude for all of
the honorees and for all of you.
