The Sisters that Almost Never See Eye to Eye

Madison and Breanna might be mortified that I posted this on my Blog where people we actually know will see it, but it definitely needs a viewing audience. Bravo, ladies!!! :) Hopefully they will keep keep their YouTube posting so this link will work.

Inner Light

" '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 doesn't serve the world. There's 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 that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we subconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

-Marianne Williamson, author, from A Return To Love, 1992. Ack C Wilson and J Cooke.

The White House

Holdingford, Minnesota

I finally got the replica painting of the house my Grandma grew up in. I have memories of playing with the dolls (that I now have :) in the main stairwell going upstairs, playing with kittens in the garage, sledding on the large hilly lawn with my brothers, and sitting on my favorite sunporch that's shown in this painting. My Dad, brother, and I visited while my Aunt Marcella and Uncle Albert lived there.
