I couldn’t help but pass along some of the words of inspiration I gathered at last week’s Women’s Funding Network Conference.  I thought these might be a great way to brighten up a rainy Friday and to wish everyone an awesome weekend!

Words of wisdom and inspiration:

"Know that you have women in the halls of Congress committed to moving millions…billions of dollars to improve the lives of women and girls."

"Repeat after me… a simple act… a world of good."–Angela Bassett

"I wasn’t trying to start a movement; I just wanted to plant trees."–Dr. Wangari Maathai

"The best criticism of the bad is a practice of the good."

"Provide grants that build wealth and worth."

"Foundations are really good at overwhelming people with data…. too much information; we need to meet people where they are."

"All things that are measured are not of value, and all things of value are not measured."

"The right to live with dignity applies to everyone."

"For real change, you need Optimism + Strategy + Communications Tools."

Happy Friday everyone!
