#WomanCrushWednesday
To get this started, I've decided to post at least three times a week, on #mancrushmonday, #womancrushwednesday, and #foodforthoughtfriday (if that's not already a thing, I'm making it a thing).
Since today is Wednesday, that means I get to post about my current #womancrushwednesday, Amy Schumer.
Ms. Schumer is this week's #wcw because I am currently listening to her book, The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo on Audible and absolutely loving it. Schumer starts the book with a preface about how it's not a memoir because she's still got a lot of life left to live (a good thing, because she's excellent) and how it has a lot of stuff in it that will make you laugh and stuff that will make you not laugh. The whole book is a wonderful rollercoaster of her first 35 years of life, punctuated by annotated journal entries from her past, and including important stories about how she got to where she is today.

| Amy Schumer's book, The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo |
Her honesty throughout the book is wonderfully refreshing and I cannot express how glad I am to hear such a visible woman unapologetically discussing things such as
- being a grown-up (read: being her own boss and living her life how she wants)
- sexual encounters (read: yes, women can and do enjoy sex)
- her own anatomy (read: her vagina)
Really, I cannot express enough how important it is to hear someone as popular and well-liked as Amy Schumer talking about things that people try to pretend don't exist. I already like her, but now I like her even more. And the best part is: she probably wouldn't care if I had the exact opposite opinion because she's a strong, secure, confident woman who doesn't really care what people think of her.
Rock on, Amy Schumer. Rock. On.
