I
believe in order to truly empower a woman you must give her the
tools to fundamentally change how she experiences her world. - Judy

My deepest fear is not that I am inadequate.
My deepest fear is that I am
powerful beyond measure.
It is my light, not my darkness, that most frightens
me.
I ask myself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually who am I not to be? I am a child of GOD.
My playing small doesn't save
the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people
won't feel insecure about me.
I was born to make manifest the glory of GOD that
is within me.
It's not just in some of us, it is in everyone.
And, as I let my
light shine, I unconsciously give other people
the right to do the same.
- Marianne Williamson

It is easy to love the people far away. It

to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in
our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each
other must start. - Mother Teresa

power that is greater than ourselves to do it. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Give us that
grand word "woman" once again, and let's have done with "lady"; one's a term

alone and that is where I renew my springs that never dry up. - Pearl S. Buck

storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship. - Louisa May Alcott
