Life According to Anne (of Green Gables)

August 6, 2012

“…people laugh at me because I use big words. 
But if you have big ideas 
you have to use big words to express them, 
haven’t you?”

The story of Anne of Green Gables has always been a favorite for me. I remember watching the mini-series as a little girl and eventually going on to read all of the series.

Anne Shirley is a strong woman for her day and today. She may be a character, but if more women had half of the gumption she did, we would have one successful sex.

“…it’s delightful to have ambitions. 
I’m so glad I have such a lot. 
And there never seems to be any end to them–
that’s the best of it. 
 Just as soon as you attain to one ambition 
you see another one glittering higher up still. 
It does make life so interesting.”  

I like to think that I have a little bit of Anne in me.

Words that I would use to describe Anne Shirley, are: Sassy, Stubborn, Resourceful, Free Thinking, Head Strong, Loyal. A lot of the same words I strive to be used to describe myself.



“It’s not what the world holds for you. 
It’s what you bring to it.”
