365 Great Quotes from Women

Today is both the 1st day of the new year, and my 58th birthday — so a double dose of renewal for me. I’m celebrating in a number of ways, including by giving myself the gift of 59 things I’ve never done before to do in my 59th year.
Here, I’m celebrating the new year with one quote each day, most from writers, all from women. Some will come with nifty images or, like today, photos I’ve taken. No doubt some days will be more minimalist. I’m seeking inspiration for my own writing and life. Please join me if you’re inclined.
I’ll start with one of my all-time favorite quotes, generally attributed to Mary Ann Evans, aka George Eliot, the author of Middlemarch, one of my all time favorite books*:

Happy 2017!
Meg
*In the interest of full disclosure, this quote may actually never have been written or said by Eliot. Ah, well…
