Today I was again looking for something to really inspire Me and the quote below absolutely did… I love it! Â đ
I knew that I had heard this woman’s name before but I didn’t know who she was or what wonderful ways she might have contributed to society.
Yet as I read about Margaret, I became more and more excited….more and more inspired about the woman that she was.  I felt her passion for learning, teaching, empowering… and needed to share her with you!
I hope that her life and words inspire you too!
“If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.”
â Margaret Fuller
Sarah Margaret Fuller Ossoli (May 23, 1810 â July 19, 1850), commonly known as Margaret Fuller, was an American journalist, critic, and women’s rights advocate associated with the American transcendentalism movement.
Born Sarah Margaret Fuller in Cambridge, Massachusetts, she was given a substantial early education by her father, Timothy Fuller.
She later had more formal schooling and became a teacher before, in 1839, she began overseeing what she called “conversations”: discussions among women meant to compensate for their lack of access to higher education.
She was the first full-time American female book reviewer in journalism. Her book Woman in the Nineteenth Century is considered the first major feminist work in the United States.
By the time she was in her 30s, Fuller had earned a reputation as the best-read person in New England, male or female, and became the first woman allowed to use the library at Harvard College.
I think based on her childhood and upbringing, Margaret had a very strong desire to learn, to teach, to share, and put simply, to impart knowledge to others…most especially women. Â
I am so impressed with the reputation she earned throughout New England as well as being the first woman allowed access to the prestigious library of Harvard! Â How amazingly notable and brilliant is that?!?!
So, what about you?? Â Does Sarah Margaret Fuller Ossoli inspire you?!? Â
Well Goddess, You know I love highly intelligent women, especially You!
I have heard it said that knowledge is power. However, I believe to maximize the power of knowledge, it must be shared. I also know knowledge is infinite and those who think they know it all and are closed minded and unreceptive to new perspectives, or deviations in their perceived facts drives me bonkers.
I love to teach and share with others what I think I know. I have found through experience though, that I must always be open to other’s ideas to expand my own knowledge.
Thank You for Your willingness over the past three years to engage in such meaningful dialog with me to teach me new things, and for being such a good listener encouraging me to share things You might find useful, or soothing.
Love You and Your thought provoking blog’s. Please keep them cumming. đ
Yes, I most assuredly DO know that you love highly intelligent women. I also know that you love strong and commanding women, too. And like you and she I feel the same way about maximizing power through shared knowledge. Thank you for appreciating My openness and sharing of ideas and knowledge with you. I have absolutely appreciated being the recipient with you. And I do plan on keeping them cumming! đ
First off thank you for great call with you & Ms Cindy!!! It was awesome to finally talk to you!!! As you know I’m into wearing women’s clothes and I’ve met 2 women. Who I’ve gone out with but they don’t know about this. I’m afraid if they do I’ll lose them as friends. What should I do?
Hi Petey! You are most welcome…I am so glad you enjoyed our call. I did too! đ So, My advice is if you would like to share with them and feel ready to share this part of yourself with them then do it. If they are truly your “friends” you will not lose them! If they are a romantic interest for you and you are worried about how they will feel about you if you share then this is a bit different. If you would like to talk about this more with Me I am always open, Petey. đ
I need to talk with you/Ms Cindy & Ms Audrey about this as it’s a combination of both as we are great friends but I do have hots for both but haven’t said anything. I admit that I do like to wear bra/panty/slip/dresses/leggings/
Yoga pants/lipstick/perfumes/lotions at home. I really want to find women with same interests but seriously what women would really want to do this to me? Not many if at all. It’s reason I’ve always been single. If I want to take this step further I have to come out to them don’t i?
