“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” – Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
I’m raising my fist in the air and sending love to all of my women family, friends and supporters. I hope you take some time today to celebrate a woman in your life who inspires you to be the best version of yourself possible. And, I hope you spend some time pampering yourself because you deserve it!
I’d love to hear from you. Who inspires you to be the best version of yourself? Share a little bit about her in the comments!
Let’s celebrate our fierceness today and everyday.
In solidarity,
Amy

Hm it”s possible to enjoy and appreciate something and not be tempted to get it yourself. It”s kind of like being happy for someone else for what they have or what they achieved, but not necessarily wanting the same thing for yourself. Like, I have been a lifelong Star Wars fan, but I don”t own a single Star Wars set. I knew if I get into it, there would no stopping, and I simply don”t have the money or the space to display them. So I”m happy to enjoy them from a distance, and look at other people”s collection, without being jealous or tempted. After years of doing this, I can honestly say that I”m fully at peace with the decision and I never regretted it. And, if you really have the Star Wars itch, you can always build something Star Wars-ish, from what you have. ? online
One way to derive inspiration and strength to unshackle ourselves is to celebrate the success stories of women, big or small, in all walks of life. Look around for icons and celebrate them. When our daughters submit a project in school and get two stars, lets celebrate that at home, with all the vigour. When Harmanpreet Kaur hits 171 in 115 balls in Cricket World Cup, lets put her posters (over Sachin’s posters) in our rooms and celebrate that with joy. When we come to know that global Chairman/MD/CEOs of General Motors, Pepsico, IBM, Lockheed Martin are all women, lets celebrate that. When we realize that the superstar of male-centric Bollywood during 1980s was not a man but a woman, lets celebrate that.
Thanks for breaking it down like that!
