ten things tuesday...

In honor of International Women's Day on March 8, here are ten women who inspire me in a variety of ways:


Oprah Winfrey: inspired me to get involved in my community, especially working with children and teens.

Lisa Ling: the voice of my generation


Rachel Carson: Silent Spring was eye-0pening.


Sally Ride: dream the dream and then go after it.


Samantha Smith: and a child will lead them. The real reason the Cold War ended.


Fannie Flagg--love her comedy, acting and writing.


Mother Jones: the original voice of those with no voice--advocate like no other.


Maya Angelou: an amazing, inspiring woman.


Alice Paul: indelible impact and advocate.
