Artists I Fancy: Women Artists of the Renaissance
The wisest man in the world describes a virtuous woman as a savvy businesswoman, among her other many valuable attributes and characteristics. (Proverbs 31). I say it has nothing to do with gender. If you have a gift or talent, it's a shame and a disgrace for others to try to prevent you from developing it and sharing with others. That's a sin!!

Women in Sports History
Since March is Women's History Month, it's a good time to share this short post about women in sports.
The first recorded women's athletic event/competition were the Heraean Games, held in 6th century BCE. The Heraean Games were similar to the ancient Olympic games but they were for women only and celebrated the goddess Hera. The historical timeline of women in sports shows that women have been active athletes and have participated in a wide range of competitions including, but not limited to, the Heraean Games, Tsu Chu (ancient Chinese football; also called Cuju), regatta (boat races), golf, cricket, baseball, ice skating, swimming, tennis, hockey and boxing matches.
Women in Boxing? People did not take women in this sport seriously until the 70s. In 2012, Women's Boxing became an official Olympic Sport and Nicola Adams (representing Great Britain) won the gold medal. (Ref: Encyclopedia Brittanica)
Female gladiators are a part of the history of women in sports. A relief from Halicarnassus (Modern Turkey) shows two female gladiators, one named Amazon and the other named Achilia (the female version of Achilles). The relief celebrates the missio (honorable release) of two female fighters. The relief is on display now at the British Museum.

Freelance Work : Writing Articles for Rational Mind.club
UPDATE July 2024: This website was sold and under the new ownership my articles vanished. Fortunately I kept backup copies so the content will reappear elsewhere on the web.
It's the beginning of the 3rd month of 2019 and so far it has been a very good year for my freelance work efforts. A fellow blogger and freelance writer offered me a job writing articles for their brand new website called Rational Mind. Accepted the writing work as it seemed like a rational decision. ☺
To date, I have published 5 articles (see below).

Although my goal is to write 3 to 4 articles per month, the site owner is very flexible and allows me to work at my own pace and choose any general topic of interest. I can now add writing for RationalMind.club to my writing work resume. My hope is that others who are looking to hire a writer might consider making me an offer like my friend did.
