"We stayed at home to write, 

to consolidate our outstretched selves"- Sylvia Plath 

   I do. I feel outstretched. My heart in many places, my mind focused on numerous tasks, my dreams reaching out to immense and exciting endeavors.... yes, it's exciting. yes, I am more than grateful to understand my capacity and opportunities. And tonight, I sit...write...think...feel...to try and consolidate me and my outstretched self. Thank you for the words miss Sylvia Plath. 

Here is my home in Minturn, CO.

I love snow.

Well - here's to blogging? I'll give it a whirrlll... I've entitled it "oh look a bird" because,

well why not? Apparently I am a distracted person....

Anyway, here is a quote that continually keeps popping up in my life, and lately...as transitions

surround us, excited us, consume us, frighten us....I am reminded of this:

"Our worst 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 so brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous' Actually, who are we not to be? You are a child of God: Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some of us, it is 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" -Nelson Mandela

So please, let's not play little. This world benefits little when we compromise WHO WE ARE. We are all unique, beautiful creatures.

"be yourself, because everyone else is taken"-Oscar Wyld.

ps- i have no idea why the writing is underlined now - let's say, technically challenged?
