Hear the call of courage …

“Courage calls to courage everywhere, 

and its voice cannot be denied.”

Millicent Fawcett

a little history about Millicent thanks to wikipedia:

Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett GBE (née Garrett; 11 June 1847 – 5 August 1929) was an English political activist and writer. She campaigned for women's suffrage by legal change and in 1897–1919 led Britain's largest women's rights association, the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS),^[1] explaining, "I cannot say I became a suffragist. I always was one, from the time I was old enough to think at all about the principles of Representative Government."^[2] She tried to broaden women's chances of higher education, as a governor of Bedford College, London (now Royal Holloway) and co-founding Newnham College, Cambridge in 1875.^[3] In 2018, a century after the Representation of the People Act, she was the first woman honoured by a statue in Parliament Square.^[4][5][6]

Let's start being courageous!!!

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

May this dress remind us of how wonderfully startling living is ...

Last night Mother Nature delivered a winter wonderland to the Boston area.  As I look out the window and watch the snow fall, I feel a child-like joy and lightness, bringing to mind these lovely words by Emily Dickinson ...

 peace

“To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.” 

Emily Dickinson

may this dress remind us all to be passionate!! courageous!!

I am putting together my #dailydressinspirations for 2021 calendar.
And like I did last year, I have only used quotes by women as I am on a mission to celebrate #femininewordsofwisdom and get more quotes by women out into the world, into the collective consciousness, into the cyber world.

And as I was marveling at all these insightful and inspiring quotes,  I thought I’d share a few of these #origamidresscollagequotes in the coming weeks! 

Here is a wonderful quote by the amazing and resilient #gabbygiffords! Giffords stood by her husband Mark Kelly as he was sworn into the Senate on Wednesday.  Kelly's arrival to the Senate is a political milestone for Arizona as this is first time since January 1953 where Arizona has two Democratic senators.   Kelly is also one of the newly elected Senators which are threatening Republican control of the Senate.

So you might be seeing more of these #dailydress inspiration ... though at this current state of my affairs - certainty is not the norm.

thank you & peace & stay safe!! ❤️
