“My power today lies in defiance. We are willing to reject the sure thing or accept excommunication to try to make it on our own rather than endure the status quo or submit to conditions that assume we are invisible — in this, we have nothing to lose. We accept responsibility for the difficulties ahead and do not seek pity for having chosen against the grain. I am empowered by mutual support and my assets are self-worth, hope, and pride.”
An Affirmation.  This totally applies to my work situation these days, and I love reading these words.  After all, nice girls don’t get the corner office and all that jazz.
