Get Inspired: Goddesses Need Hope & Courage, Too

Every now and then I come across something that inspires me and I save it to a file on my computer, where it will probably never be seen again. So instead of keeping these golden nuggets in hiding, I wanted to share them with you, because we all could use a spoonful of hope and courage, or something that ignites a spark. And because I love making collages. (It’s almost as pretty as the collage I made on my 4th grade denim notebook – a tribute to Shaun Cassidy.) I hope you enjoy and find meaning in them. A little bonus, the deeply inspirational words of College Boy, “Go big or go home!”

    Too funny! It is the perfect thing to share with others. So glad you kept these on your computer all this time. I especially like Tina Fey’s quotation. She’s right!

    This is both beautiful and inspiring! You see these quotes in isolation and think, yeah, that makes sense. But in a collage like this? Really powerful! Love.

Thrilled for this piece to finally see the light o Thrilled for this piece to finally see the light of day on @thegirlfriendletter. And a hearty thanks to @profwendywood, author of Good Habits, Bad Habits, for her words of wisdom. I wrote this back in February, before Covid threw us all a curveball. One thing that I realized is that whether or not we’re in quarantine, many of our basic human traits remain the same. Once a perfectionist, always a perfectionist...until I learned that that mindset was actually holding me back. Love to hear your thoughts.

My favorite time to read is in the morning when I first wake up, when I’m still cozy in bed. How about you? #untamed #glennondoyle #readingforpleasure #readinginbed #readingwomen
