NO FEAR!

Our Deepest Fear is a quote from the 1994 Inaugural Address of Nelson Mandela, written by Marianne Williamson. It was shared by Lou DiCaprio, president of the Trump Network on Saturday October 16.
I find it very inspiring!

" 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 within us. It's not just 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."

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!





Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending two hours on the Charles River with two of my favorite people: my daughter Morgan and her son Marckenrho. It was a beautiful, bright blue October day, cool, but not so cold as to make it bracing. We were fortunate to have a gift certificate,( Thanks Sheena!) to Charles River Canoe and Kayak, and started our adventure at their kiosk on Soldiers Field Rd.We rented a single kayak for me and a double for Morgan and Marck. We headed upstream against the wind, so that our journey back would be easy. It was great to be on the River, that I usually view from a car window. To be amongst the boats and sculls cruising the river was really fun. We encountered some beautiful waterfowl towards the Watertown end, including Great Blue Herons and Comorants. Even the CREW inspired grafitti on the bridges was beautiful in its own right reminding us that ANYTHING  IS POSSIBLE!
