Happy International Women's Day!
How are you celebrating your life as a woman, or the life of the women you love? We’d like to know. Email us at info@othervoices.ca with “International Women’s Day” in the subject line. Who knows, we might post your anecdote in our News section!
Here are two of my favourite quotes by inspirational women. Enjoy!
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.”
—Helen Keller
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”—Marianne Williamson, from A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles
