Girl Scouts is a girl-serving organization, so our members are girls.

Simply stated, girls want role models and mentors.

Girls are twice as likely as boys to avoid leadership roles for fear of being deemed 'bossy' by their peers.

Cyber bullies can hide behind a mask of anonymity online, and do not need direct physical access to their victims to do unimaginable harm.

Unless and until our society recognizes cyber bullying for what it is, the suffering of thousands of silent victims will continue.

What gets posted online is not short term, and is open for easy misinterpretation. Messages and pictures spread faster through the Internet than they ever could by word of mouth.

Too often, nonprofits are viewed as rigid and bureaucratic - less nimble and capable of adapting in this fluid environment than our corporate counterparts. I don't agree.

At Girl Scouts, we create leaders.

Girls who lead turn in to women who thrive.

I live to inspire girls, volunteers, Girl Scout staff and alumni

Research shows that girls look at leadership differently than boys.

Sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with me. Perhaps I've spent too long in the company of my literary romantic heroes, and consequently my ideals and expectations are far too high.

Serve in the grace of strength within thy soul.

From the same window, you keep seeing the same view!

It's not that we use technology, we live technology.

I don't have many friends so the phone doesn't ring and no one's asking me to go out and go dancing with them.

Sometimes you have to understand that you push ahead, there's going to be a lot of flak, there's going to be a lot of dogs barking, but the wagon train moves ahead.

The publishing world is very timid. Readers are much braver.

Out of ten swings at the bat, you get maybe seven strikeouts, two base hits, and if you are lucky, one home run. The base hits and the home runs pay for all the strikeouts

Maybe the life I think I'm living is a paranoid delusion...Sanity is a valuable possession; I hoard it the way people once hoarded money. I save it, so I will have enough, when the time comes.
