“Living great lives just means you have grown the skill muscles necessary to make choices in line with your dreams and purpose.”

“Skills give you options, it opens doors of possibilities.”

“Today if anything is trying to hold you back, give no attention to it. Get your hopes up, get your faith up, look up, and get ready to rise up.”

“Stop looking for that person you were in the past. She has changed. Look for the person she has grown into. She is wiser and stronger than than ever before. Don’t go back to who you were. Cherish who you are.” –Without a Voice by Chris Pepple”

“A woman has but two loves in life: the one who broke her heart and the one she spends the rest of her life with.”- Carolyn Chase, former Broadcast Journalist and heroine Kate Theodore’s mother”

“Dear woman, look at yourself in the mirror and be your own favourite person. Every curve, every freckle, every hair on your skin. Because you are worth your tears, your laughter, your joys and your pains. You are worth the broken roads you’ve traveled, the nights you’ve spent alone with a bottle of champagne, the times you climbed out of graves. You are worth the smiles only you see, the ones you generously share, then all the others in between. You’re worth the love that’s meant for you and the pains you’ve broken through. Dear woman, look at yourself; you love you.”

“When life places stones in your path, be the water. A persistent drop of water will wear away even the hardest stone.”

“Inside every woman, is a crazy girl. And we all know what I’m talking about. That part of you that is entangled with insecurities, fears, and absolute insanity! The art of femininity lies in the molding, pounding, and defeating of that crazy girl on a daily basis! Look at any woman, and you’re looking at a woman fighting a daily battle, wielding her weapons in war, every day! I have said it before and I’ll say it again: it is never easy being a woman! And if we could only pound that crazy, insecure girl out of ourselves, it would make such the difference!”

“And I understand my sisters when they say every woman has a story that’s been told a maxim of one soul, maybe lessAnd that is why you’ll never hear me call a woman slut, bitch or a dyke,No matter what she does, because I do not blame herI blame the men who have emotionally and physically raped her,I blame these corporations whose images tell them they hate her,And I put my arms on her shoulder and tell her how great to life and to God that SHE created her”

“I was my own woman.The next step was to find the proper sort of man.”

“Darling, when things go wrong in life, you lift your chin, put on a ravishing smile, mix yourself a little cocktail…”

“The strength of a woman is not measured by the impact that all her hardships in life have had on her; but the strength of a woman is measured by the extent of her refusal to allow those hardships to dictate her and who she becomes.”
