Amazing! Never put an age limit on the things you might one day do!
As a young disabled person, I often had to put “later” on many of my goals. I love hearing about women who did things “later”, too.
Barbara Hillary (1931-2019) US. Nurse. Polar adventurer. On retiring from a 55 year career in nursing, she decided to become the first black woman to reach the Poles. After rigorous training she reached the North Pole, age 75, and the South Pole at age 79.

I don’t know who needs to hear this this January but: the body is not a project. Your body doesn’t exist to be in photos. It not the “before” waiting for the “after”. You don’t need to objectify the body in order to to look after it. Personify it. You wouldn’t be here without it.

I stuck up my early rejection letters on my kitchen wall, because every writer I admired got rejected initially and now I finally had something in common with them. No time spent doing what you love and learning to do it better is ever wasted. Make 2022 your year! ✍️🎉✍️🎉✍️🎉

It’s New Years Eve - a time for change. But be kind to yourself- if you can’t change it then let it go. Easy to say, hard to do , but essential for your mental health. I give YOU the authority!
I can’t put into words how this picture makes me feel. Finding others who have been through the same thing you have gives you so much hope and courage. Women supporting women will change the world.

“…twice as many women as men are in the bottom 10% of earners, [leaving] them more vulnerable in a faltering economy.”
The pay gap is still a woman’s rights issue (and something @WomensInstitute has been campaigning for since at least 1943). theguardian.com/world/2021/d…

"I am not interested in picking up crumbs of compassion thrown from the table of someone who considers himself my master. I want the full menu of human rights." - Archbishop Desmond Tutu

My dad is at rest. Thank you Tshezi for all you have been to our family and the world. Lala ngo xolo Desmond Mpilo Tutu.

Reflecting on #DesmondTutu’s life the main emotion I feel is gratitude, for his humility, for his compassion, and for the unparalleled example he set overseeing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission which has inspired me in too many ways to count. He will always be a beacon.
I hope you spent Christmas with someone who loves you as much as this cat loves her human!
