I also want to do things that are connected to growth or making a difference. <BR/><BR/>I read Women Who Run With the Wolves several years ago during a time of huge changes in my life - it made all the difference in the decisions I made at the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-16987887543524523462007-10-08T18:36:00.000-05:002007-10-08T18:36:00.000-05:00Oh, Jessie, what a wonderful post.

I feel inspired every time I come by for a visit. <BR/><BR/>I think I'm going to need to make a list of possible acts of bravery, because I've felt a shift this week, too. I don't want to just randomly do something scary, I want my bravery to mean something.<BR/><BR/>I'll be thinking about you while you're on your vacation--peace and quiet--oh, I'm so jealous!Karen Smitheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04584636153202712192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-71454014443842563042007-10-06T13:05:00.000-05:002007-10-06T13:05:00.000-05:00I know, Jessie, it sometimes is terrifying just to...I know, Jessie, it sometimes is terrifying just to contemplate that all sorts of things might change and it is up to us how far and how fast to go with this. It is hard for me to even visualize what might change!<BR/><BR/>I think it is that quote by Marianne Williamson that we are not terrified that we are too small, but that we are magnificent and powerful. Ok, here it is:<BR/><BR/>“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”---MW<BR/><BR/>We DO have to go in steps, but I think that it's because we'd implode or explode or something if everything happened all at once, don't you?<BR/><BR/>What a great point you make that you don't want to just do "blindless acts of bravery" but to move forward towards your dreams. Me, too. I'm feeling that today. At first, though, "blindless acts of bravery" were definitely enough :) Just to get started...Maybe this is "second week syndrome". Then maybe there is a third and fourth week syndrome, too...<BR/><BR/>What an amazing adventure!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for blazing this trail for all of us, but especially for me,<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/><BR/>OOliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058356843151306428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-23065849609972047712007-10-06T12:40:00.000-05:002007-10-06T12:40:00.000-05:00Thank you for your bravery project!
