Emerging Courageous Newsletter 65

Today's Message: Do it my way!
Recently several of my art instructors repeatedly kept telling me to "keep on doing what you are doing". I wanted to learn to do something different. However, they were trying to tell me I need to perfect my own special technique. What I am doing is my own unique expression of what I see, I just need to keep doing more of it and improving on it instead of trying to change it. How often we want to do something to please others or do something like someone else rather than do what we love and do it our way. I will try to remember to continue to "Do it my way!" Marilyn Dixon Pfanstiel

Thought Provoking Question: 
“Mommy, do you really love me even if you don’t have time to listen to me?” Teh Eng Chaun

Quotes worth repeating: 
"It's not what you get out of life that counts. It's what you put into it that really makes the difference." 
Suzanne Tierney, Lupus Patient who volunteers for the Greater Cleveland  chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America and also started a Lupus support group

Thoughts worth pondering:
"The sound of your voice that will live on forever is the sound that resonates in the lives you touch along the way. "
Bob Perks

Another thought worth contemplating:
"Live each day as vitally as if it were the first day of your life and appreciate each day as fully as if it were the last. Life is for living not just existing." Joe Mazzella
