A Mighty Girl

One of the greatest websites "to like" on Facebook is 'A Mighty Girl'.


The site is geared towards young girls and teens. Despite not being in that age range, I find much joy in reading about women who HAVE and who ARE currently making history. It is an inspiring page for women and men alike. I enjoy the daily posts and I share a screenshot of a few of those posts below. 

Perhaps one of my favorite sentences and advice in the history of forever is, "Be brave." Reminders of those two words are brought up in poems like the one shown above (by e.h.). These posts encourage me to keep dreaming.

Reading is for the soul. <--An inarguable sentence.

I LOVE these particular posts the most. I am reminded of women who were brilliant, creative, strong of heart and mind. These are women who paved a way for someone like me. These are the heroes that I LOVE to hear and read about. These are the heroes that I want my nieces and nephews to know.


I love learning. The more I learn, the more I love life, love others, and importantly, love myself. This is an important concept that has empowered me to overlook the shallow and superficial things that plague women. It is far too easy to succumb to the pressures that humankind must encounter, but knowledge of things (e.g. science, math, literature, art, etc) offers a higher perspective to overcome those pressures.
  
I encourage everyone to check out "A Mighty Girl" on Facebook or go to their website (www.amightygirl.com) to find books and videos that will be sure to uplift and encourage you to become the best you can be.
