My favorite quote is atttributed to Elinor Rrosevelt, "Nobody can walk all over you unless you lie down and let them.". When you are raised to be nice to everybody it is sometimes havrd to remember to stand up for yourself.
As an avid reader and listener of music, Alicia Keys has inspired me and so many women friends. What an awesome giveaway!
Margaret Atwood inspires me - she paints pictures with her words.
Maya Angelou's quote: when people show you who they are, believe them. This has helped me so much in letting go of people that don't serve me in my life and holding on to the ones that show light in dark times.
I just read through the Times 100 Women of the Year. It was amazing how many of them I had never heard of. That being said, I would love to thank some of the women who faught for our right to vote.
Helen Keller & My Mother Have Always Inspired Me
Keep the campaigns coming and I'll keep accepting them
My grandma and mom.These ladys worked so hard so I could have what I need and wanted. I still look to their model when it comes to providing for my family.
I've always been inspired by Katherine Johnson for her contributions to space exploration and women's rights!
Michelle Obama inspires, and my daughters.
I'm loving the quotes from Alicia Keyes!
I'm so excited for this!
My inspiration comes from my mom as she is a strong lady
"This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal."
- Toni Morrison
I'm not really a quotes inspired person.
