For those that are, and those that are growing up to be.


The daughters. The mothers. The sisters.

The fribblings – friends like siblings.

The wives. The girlfriends.

The aunts. The nieces.

The grand-somethings.

The young uns. The teens.

The women in your life.

Who love, lose, cry.

Laugh, heal, thrive.

Nurture. Create.


_________________________

You.Are.Amazing.

As. you. are.
Stronger than you know.
More beautiful than you think.
Worthier than you believe.
More loved than you can ever imagine.
Passionate about making a difference.
Fiery when protecting those you love.
Learning. Growing. Not alone.
Warm. Giving. Generous.
Quirky. Sexy. Funny. Smart.
Flawed. Whole. Scared. Brave.
And so, so, so.much.more.

Be Strong. Be Confident. Be You.

~ Copyright: Tia Sparkles Singh, 2011

There was a time I wasn’t.

A time when I didn’t think I was worth much. A very confident and happy child turned into a rebellious, angry teenager who couldn’t see how amazing and wonderful she was and would never have believed it even if you told her.

Sad.

It took years of being a grown up to get that confidence and self worth back but there are still days that I get caught up in challenging situations and forget.

So I decided to create a reminder for myself and all women, bringing together quotes that inspire, empower and remind us of how powerful we really are.

Mere quotes won’t change your life, but they can change your perspective and your day.

ANYTHING is possible thereon.

Because even though we have bad days, it’s not a bad life at all.

ps: A smile is still the sexiest curve on your body. Ever.
pps: If you know a special woman, let her know how phenomenal she is.

Call her, email her, hug her, do the chores, cook her dinner, make love to her, send her this post.

Whatever you do, just do it & make her day.

TODAY.

74. No one ever died from sleeping in an unmade bed. – Erma Bombeck.

75. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us, it is in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
- Marianne Williamson.

Your Sun is on my Chiron, in my 4th house btw. I am deeply touched by your posts.

Awww thank you!

I am really curious what our synastry might look like, I mean I absorb your posts like a junkie does her fav drug! I also have Taurus Venus, unaspected, singleton, it's at 18 deg - whenever something touches it I'm like smitten! And it gives me a very soft spot for anything Taurus! Oh, I remember you said you have Aries SN - I'm Aries Sun, Mercury and Mars! What degree is your SN? My planets are at 13, 22 and 28 deg!

Yes, previously (few years ago), I remember you saying that you're quite young (but didn't remember your age exactly) and I was quite shocked because your posts always sound very wise and mature. I didn't have the courage then to ask for more info since we didn't interact much and didn't want you to think I was a weirdo lol, but was very impressed with you from back then!

How lovely of you to say and so nice to read first thing in the morning Thank you!

Well, it seems that your Sun is opposite my Pluto. My Aries SN is early at 4*. Also your Venus would fall in my 4th house close to my Sun and opposite Uranus at the top of my chart.

Your Aries planets falling in my 3rd make sense that you would feel a connection to my posts. Cool!

Been told by people all my life that I'm wise, so maybe it's true. Thank you! And who were you before (if you want to say)?

I'm loving your energy and posts. Glad we've connected now!

This, for today.


Is that your blog btw??? It is soooooo AWESOME!!!!!! Whoaa, mind blowing! Totally wonderful, sassy, spicy, fun and so, so wise!

I'm glad we connected too! I used to be izodesmozina initially, then just Izo and now I took on Hera since I'm growing into a more kick-a$$ me . Don't worry if you didn't notice me, I mostly just mumbled to myself lmao, always complaining about my life blah blah. You didn't miss anything lol. I like our synastry! Do you have Uranus in your 10th? I have that one too and I looooove it! Also, is it my impression or do you have Aqua rising? I have Aqua intercepted in my 1st and can feel it a bit in me too!

Awwww, yup I already feel my Venus loving your Sun helplessly! My Mom and my therapist (the two most influential women in my life, so far) are both Taurus Suns on my Venus!

Nope, not my blog, but it's a great one, isnt it? I came across it yesterday.

Ah, yes, your old name rings a bell! I'm glad youve come out of you shell and it must feel good for you too.

I came here like a bat out of hell and just started posting away! LOL Not knowing anything about forums or the internet or introducing myself or anything. Was into Astrology big-time, at that time. And now they can't get rid of me.

Actually Aqua is intercepted in my first too and I feel it strongly sometimes as well. I feel like I have two rising signs.

Venus on another's Sun is the best aspect! Lovey dovey

Glad youre back and letting your light shine!!!

The Cap risings here have been some of my favorites

& yep, same here - how you feel with the 'dual risings'.

Have a nice day at work.

I was listening to a radio show http://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2012/06/04
