It's like the old saying, "You don't where you're going if you don't know where you came from." Women should always be aware of those who came before us. Such an important thing to do.

I appreciate you leaving your lovely comments and reading my post.

Have a wonderful day~
Cathy

You are so right. The women before us are the heart and soul of who we are today. Great advice. Thanks for sharing.

That's the other end of the matter. That we leave this earth a better place for the women who come after us. To set examples of strength, inner beauty and intelligence in all matters, at all times. That is the gift we shall leave them.

Great comment. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Thanks for leaving it for me.

Cheers~
Cathy

My blog partner, Barbara Joy, is a huge Dr. N fan. She introduced me to her work. Thank you for the fabulous imagery, thoughtfulness, and kick ass piece of work!

It would be even more delightful in person.

Thank you for your very lovely comments, Pam. I appreciate all you said. Truly.

Have a wonderful (and fashionable) day! (I LOVE your blog...)

Cheers~

Your post resonates with everything I believe...and you wrote it so beautifully!! Well done...enjoyed every minute!

I can't remember what I did yesterday! Oh, yeah, I tried to read everyone's posts while doing work. Well, most days I can't remember. I think I'm going to copy your idea. It's a marvelous one.

Thanks so much for reading my post and leaving your thoughtful comments. Always a joy to hear what you have to say!

Best~
Cathy

Had to grab the Kleenex for your comments. Sniff, sniff.

Thank you so much for leaving your lovely comments! I am thrilled you liked my post. Truly.

I love biographies and love how they inspire me to be a better person. Even if someone does something a little less "nice" we can learn from that, too. Perhaps we'll find some at the Book Expo?????!!!

Thank you, sister. For your comments, for your friendship, and for being the true person you are. It's a joy getting to know you.

Best~
Cathy

Thank you so very much, Helene. What a lovely thing to say.

I am glad you enjoyed my post (as I enjoyed yours!) We shall age gracefully together, eh?

Have a wonderful day~
