I've been doing a lot of research lately about bold women. Bold women seem to be either admired or despised for their "out of the box" behavior. Alice Longworth Roosevelt is known for saying, "If you can't say something good about someone, sit right here by me." I really like that. I have always said that I have a good heart.....but, my mouth just gets in the way! Alice was definitely bold.
Several women have been noted for coining the phrase, "Well behaved women seldom make history."
Well, who doesn't believe that? Joan of Arc, Marie Curie and even Jane Austen are great examples.
"I'm not bossy. I just have leadership skills." Leadership is not for the reticent.
But, Bold Women are not mean, and they don't go out of the way to deride, chastise and demean other people. "The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.", Coco Chanel said. Bold women are independent thinkers!
Eleanor Roosevelt was a Bold Women. I admire a couple of quotes attributed to her. She said, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." And, this one is my favorite."You must do the thing you think you cannot do." Life is pretty sad, when you let fear rule your actions.
With that said, here's one for making your day a really great one! Just repeat after me....."It's an Add to Cart kind of day."
Thank you Lord, for being Steadfast and Ever Present. You are our one Constant. We praise Your Holy Name. All that we do is for Your glory.
