Inspirationals - an oldie but a goodie

“I learned that courage was not absence of fear, but triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers fear. “ Nelson Mandela. I assume in sentiment he meant women too. Our thoughts are with Mr Mandela as he recovers from his recent health crisis.

Anais Nin ... inspiring me

Three quotes from Anais Nin.

"We don't see things as they are: we see them as we are".

"I must be a mermaid.  I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living".

"Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together" .

I hope these quotes  add to inspire your fulfilling, loving and happy day

keeping a journal

For the past two years I have been keeping a journal. I started when I found that I needed to get sorted out – find where and who I was at this stage of my life. My journal is a collection of thoughts, inspirational saying I have read, views on things I have been to see, a place to stick concert tickets (Sade, Pink, Neil Young ...who says I have diverse taste!?) I also collect information about things; like feng shui; doshas; places I want to visit; words in foreign languages that fascinate me ... in short – everything. I started re-reading my first journal (I am half way through my second ‘volume’) and was reinspired by some of the things I have collected. So, starting today I will sometimes post those things that inspire me. Madeleine Albright was the first woman to become the United States Secretary of State under the Clinton presidency. She is now a Professor of International Relations at Georgetown University. In May 2012, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by US President Barack Obama. One hell of a powerful woman. ‘Maddie’ quote …. “There is a special place in hell for women who do not help other women” Go Grrl!
