Today's Message: Widening Your Horizons.
Each day as more and more people become interested in my watercolor paintings and Women Emerging Courageous, I am reminded that these are completely new endeavors for me. Things are escalating as more contacts are made. In my wildest dreams, I would never have envisioned myself as an "artist" or an "author/editor" but somehow that is the direction my life has taken. As I look to give speaking engagements and being on radio and TV for my book, and having my artwork in numerous shops and galleries, it is such an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. I have tapped into creative energies long neglected and have blossomed in those areas. I had limited my vision for so many years, that I never realized what I was capable of. I have "Reached New Heights" and done things I never thought I could do. Marilyn Dixon Pfanstiel

Quote to Remember:
"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it."

Thoughts worth sharing:
"What you do to others... you should do to yourself.
What you say to others... you should say to yourself.
What you think about others... you should think about yourself.
What you see in others... you should see in yourself."
Shelly Ryan Mountain Wings subscriber

Thoughts Worth Pondering:
"The only way to know for sure whether Life is inherently good or not is to never again let some pressure-filled fear convince us that without its guidance something bad will surely befall us. The truth is that once we see there is nothing good about fear, bad things stop happening to us." Guy Finley

More to think about:
"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good." Author Unknown
