Women's history month is quickly coming to a close and before it did I wanted to acknowledge some wonderful women and a theme that has come up for me this past month! Last week verily magazine had a fantastic article; which dreamed up what would a Mount Rushmore "for the ladies" look like. You can read that article here: http://verilymag.com/a-mount-rushmore-for-the-ladies/
Some of history's most revered women made the cut, including, Eleanor Roosevelt. Eleanor Roosevelt was a fierce advocate for human rights and the voice of reason behind one of history's most influential leaders; Franklin D. Roosevelt. As if that were not enough with her wisdom, honesty and wit her iconic quotes left us challenged, inspired and always wanting more. Below is one of my favorite all time quotes:
"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do." -Eleanor Roosevelt
