  Time Out! - Marilyn Dixon Pfanstiel
For the last six years we've talked about a cruise.
Yesterday, I decided the time was now.
I'm going to the Bahamas the first week in Aug. for R&R so I
decided to send you some inspirational messages from

Emerging Courageous Online Magazine Authors.
Check out their sites for more inspiration.
When I return I will be getting a new email:
[email protected]
Not sure when it will take effect.
Will change it on my site.
See you after some Rest and Relaxation.
Keep in Touch. Enjoy. MP

  You Can Do It!
Peer pressure is not just for teenagers! The
ugly face of peer pressure will follow us all to the grave
by those who would have us go in a different direction with our lives.
So, decide what you want in life...and don't let anyone
distract you from reaching your goals and your dreams!
You Can Do It!

  Truths
appiness is enhanced by others but does not depend upon others.
Do what you can, for who you can, with what you have, and where you are.
The choice you make today will usually affect tomorrow.

I've learned...that everyone wants to live on top of the mountain,
but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.

Emerging Courageous by Donna Wallace

  Emerging Courageous isn’t easy to do
It’s speaking out against
Something that disagrees with you
It’s standing up for what you believe in
Even if you’re along
It’s not the lack of fear
But doing what’s right all alone.

  Emerging Courageous, being a hero
In such a world
Acting on your morality
Whether you are a boy or girl
It’s not that you’re afraid or
That you’re the bravest one
It’s having the courage to overcome
What has to be done

  Emerging Courageous is what
Heroes do each day
Sure they take time to pray
But it’s when their back is up
Against the wall to make the choice
That they know inside is right
That they act or speak in silent voice
