Happy One Year Anniversary GaliKat!

One year and 2900 views. Thanks everyone! After a year of jumping in and figuring stuff out, I'm starting to get the hang of this blogging thing. A picture update later, but here are some of the women who have inspired me this year..

Queen Tamara of Georgia
Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra
Queen Nzinga
Rani of Jhansi
Margaret Thatcher
Amelia Earhart

and for inspiration, here are some quotes...

"The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward." - Amelia Earhart


"Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace, The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things." - Amelia Earhart


"The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship." - Amelia Earhart


Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.
Margaret Thatcher

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.
Margaret Thatcher

The Ranee was remarkable for her bravery, cleverness and perseverance; her generosity to her Subordinates was unbounded. These qualities, combined with her rank, rendered her the most dangerous of the rebel leaders.
 -- General Sir High Rose, on the Rani of Jhansi
