What women need to understand is that you cannot save a child if you can't save yourself.

The truth is women in the workplace don't have to fight nearly as hard for opportunities, or to dispel stereotypes, as they did before.

You have to see every potential roadblock as an opportunity and a benefit.

Cash - in savings accounts, short-term CDs or money market deposits - is great for an emergency fund. But to fulfill a long-term investment goal like funding your retirement, consider buying stocks. The more distant your financial target, the longer inflation will gnaw at the purchasing power of your money.

Women are fighters. They will fight and fight and fight to get what they need, especially if they have children.

I get more inspired by seeing everyday people succeed against the odds than anything else in life.

One has to ask what is the goal of life? What is the goal of life? My interpretation of it for myself, a very wise teacher once taught me this, is to meet the needs of the people, places and the times around you and offering those services to God.
