INSPIRATION

“I knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed. Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave. Nothing could vanquish me.
 

Cheryl Strayed

 
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

Anaïs Nin

"I think now is our time. My mother was told by everyone that she had two choices: She could be a nurse or a teacher. The external barriers now are just so much lower. If we start acknowledging what the real issues are, we can solve them. It's not that hard."

Sheryl Sandberg

"All the big tragic novels written about women...suggest that women are inevitably destroyed by our disappointments...I didn't want Alma Whittaker to be that sort of character. I wanted her to be like the real women I know in the real world — women who have the secret superpower of taking their disappointments, and (using some kind of magical alchemy of infinite grace) turning them into wisdom."

Elizabeth Gilbert
