Do you know what today is? I had never heard of this holiday until eight years ago when I was a Corporate Sales Manager at FedEx visiting my flower customers in Ecuador. They shared with me that they ship just as many flowers to Russia and Europe for this day as they do for flowers to the US for Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. Give up? March 8th, all around the world, represents International Women’s Day. Although it was not made official in the United States until 1909 (also on a different date) It has a long and rich history that every woman should be familiar.
