"She is empowered, so she is knowledgeable. She is divine, so she is pure. She has passion, so she iscompassionate. She nurtures and cares; she loves and shares. She is sensitive yet strong, she is proud but not vain. She belongs to 21st century but carries the legacy of a by gone era. She teaches and heals, she becomes whole when she is committed to her man. She preaches and reaches out, tender to the core, always likes to give more and more. Thy name is woman!"

"Have you ever seen a person without arms, feet, or just half body? Do you ever hear or see one of them doing amazing things or smile everyday like there is nothing bad or sad around them? Do you ever wonder how these people can do so much with a body like that, or how they can smile and be so happy and show how much they can do?
These people are doing things without feet, without arms, sometimes only half a body and they do all that, when sometimes those who have a full body never do. How amazing are these people that with all their problems and suffering they show the world what a human can do.
We don't need arms or feet or a perfect body to smile, to live, to do amazing things, and to believe in ourselves, to believe that there aren't any impossibilities to do what we know we can do. Having an imperfect body doesn't mean that you are not capable of showing great attitude, talent, inspiration, and something unique to share with the world. No matter how many obstacles are in your life, try always to see the positive in everything and transform those impossibilities into possibilities."
