HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 2016

May we all truly be happy, joyful and proud to be a woman, mother, grandmother, sister or daughter to our families and to others.

In honor of International Women's Day, here are a few inspiring quotes regarding WFWP Co-founder Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon. Though she does not often speak about herself or her own life, we can learn what a truly inspiring woman she is through the one who knows her best, her husband the late Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon.

"My wife has such a tremendous heart of love and care that she even gave her wedding ring to someone in need. When she sees someone in need of clothes, she buys that person clothes. When she comes across someone hungry, she buys the person a meal. There have been many times when we have received presents from others that she would give away to someone else without even opening them. Once we were touring the Netherlands and had a chance to visit a factory that processed diamonds. Wanting to express my heart of regret toward my wife for all her sacrifices, I bought her a diamond ring. I didn't have much money, so I couldn't buy her a large one. I picked out one I liked and presented it to her. Later, she even gave away that ring. When I saw the ring wasn't on her finger, I asked her, "Where did the ring go?" She answered, "You know by now I can't keep something like that when someone has a greater need."...

It would seem that my wife would be devastated each time she faced such difficult situations, but she always remained unshaken. Even in the most difficult and unbearable circumstances, my wife never lost her serene smile. She always crossed over life's most difficult peaks successfully." - From "As a Peace Loving Global Citizen"

May we also keep a serene smile as we open many new doors for women and men around the world, with our innate wisdom, passion, and heart!

Throughout the year, let us celebrate womanhood and each other!
