    Felt that it was appropriate to mark the day in some way, so thought I would share the following quotes:

    “The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can Love! What you can accomplish and what your potential is.” ~ Anne Frank

    “Beautiful things happen, when you distance yourself from negativity.” ~ unattributed

    Does anyone else have something inspirational and positive to share on the significant day? Would love to hear from you.

    Hi ladies, just to say we are all beautiful and it is time we learnt to love ourselves and be kind to each other.

    I read this one on Facebook a little while ago, not sure who said it though
    “The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.”
    And I have a couple of other favourites
    “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans” ~ John Lennon
    “We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars” ~ Oscar Wilde.

    Happy Women’s Day, everyone.

    Loving the quotes. Here is my contribution……….

    I rather like this one from Eleanor Roosevelt, and it is oh, so true…………” A woman is like a teabag – you can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.”

    And of course, we shouldn’t forget Maggie Thatcher’s goodie…………..”If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman”

    I also think we should also bear this quote by Bipasha Basu (Indian actress) in mind, as it seems particularly appropriate to us BSDers…………..”I want to tell women that you need to love yourself and make yourself a priority. It’s only when you are happy yourself, that you can you make everyone else around you happy.”

    And finally, just a joking unattributed quote which has always amused me……………”If the Three Wise Men had been women, they would have asked directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, brought practical gifts, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, and there would have been peace on earth!”
