O maior conquistador não é aquele que conquista grandes coisas, mas sim o que conquista as pequenas e as torna grandes!

Give a woman pain and she’ll turn it into power. Give that woman chaos and she’ll create peace. - R. H. SIN
There’s fire in her… If loved correctly, she will warm your entire home.
If abused, she will burn it down.
Joan Crawford
Actress. Born
Lucille Fay Le Sueur in San Antonio, Texas, but christened Joan Crawford by
Hollywood. Her beauty and vivacity
catapulted her to stardom in the late 1920s. The resilient actress with the ever expressive
eyes, the famous overpainted lips and the will of steel created for herself one
of the most legendary and enduring Hollywood personae of all time. Receiving 3
best actress Oscar nominations throughout her long career and winning once for
the 1945 classic noir "Mildred Pierce," Joan seemed to personify the
ideal american woman of every decade. Married five times her fifth and last
marriage was to Pepsi Cola chairman Alfred Steele, who died in 1959. She was
described by some as "the face" owing to her classically beautiful
features and even the great Hollywood studio photographer George Hurrell dubbed
her "camera proof" as she photographed perfectly from every angle.
She also won a British BAFTA award for the 1957 movie "The Story of Esther
Costelllo." She's best remembered for classic roles in "Our Dancing
Daughters," "Grand Hotel," "The Women," "Mildred
Pierce," "Humoresque," "Possessed," "Harriet
Craig," "Sudden Fear" and the 1962 horror classic "What
Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" Her film career spanned nearly 50 years. Her
crypt incorrectly states her birth year as 1908, when in fact it was 1904.

Nothing can dim the light that shines from within. – Maya Angelou
Courageous women find their strength in their inner core. It takes years to develop character and strong women are willing to change for the better. All their past experiences, however difficult these may be, are stored in their hearts. Nothing is wasted since these women are also wise and know that everything that happened in their life has a reason. The mess in their lives becomes their message of light in a dark world.
She remembered who she was and the game changed. – Lalah Deliah
History is full of women who started out unsure of themselves but became better and more courageous. Experience is an excellent teacher and a strong woman never forgets the lessons she has learned. She knows that these life lessons are necessary for transformation and strength of character. Every victory in her life is well-fought and she gets better each time. Faced with the same difficulties, she only has to remember past triumphs and she is again ready for any challenges that life throws at her.

Every one of us casts a shadow.
There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.
The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."
"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
~J. R. Miller, "The Shadows We Cast"
