I stumbled upon Nora Ephron by accident – literally. The July, 2014 issue of Prevention Magazine was on the floor, my arms were full of laundry, and I caught my toe on the magazine as I made my way through the house.
Laundry tumbled to the floor as the magazine skittered several feet and flipped open.
I stooped to pick up the scattered laundry and came up with the magazine in my hand instead of panties and tee shirts.
It had opened to page 63. The picture was of two girls – both wearing masks, dresses and capes – standing in a super hero pose with head turned to the side, chin lifted, eyes squinted, chests out, hands on hips. Powerful. And, powerfully feminine.
At the top left of the page were these words:
Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim. – Nora Ephron
That’s awesome period wise advice.
Be the heroine of your life, not the victim = powerful…life changing…empowering.
