The Journey Calendar - 2013

Dearest gentle doves,

In celebration of the journey of a woman, I have put together a calendar featuring strong, inspirational women who inspire me. So, I'm sharing with you a list of some of the world's most iconic women. Women who saw beyond themselves, and lived their lives for the greater benefit of others. These women inspire me, in being a woman, more so, in my every day journey.

Yes, the year has begun, we're almost three months into it already; but there's no time limit for some inspiration:  As you engage in your journey of substance; I wish you a wonderful one, and hope you are inspired by the words of these incredible women. Here's to a thriving journey

Mother Theresa - "Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in that action."

 

Maya Angelou - "I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberated the soul of the giver"

Princess Diana - " carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you"

With love,

Lady B!
