Who doesn’t love a little daily inspiration and motivation? I know sometimes it’s just what I need to brighten my day, change my outlook on a certain situation or simply focus myself on being grateful and feeling content.
Some of my favorite quotes come from Hollywood’s original leading ladies. Although they gave us many memorable lines on-screen, it’s their noteworthy words from behind the camera that encourage me most. More than just icons of beauty and glamor, they had some important things to say about life, love and happiness. And most important, the happiness you find within yourself.
Timeless wisdom that every woman should live by, their personal insights leave an empowering impact that will uplift you.
