Fear is one of those ugly manmade emotions that I really despise. It can literally make one immoble if you're not aware that it's lurking around. On the other hand, fear of being locked away in a nursing home made me work harder to be as independent as I could be.... Interesting, huh?

Wonerful Linda. One of my favorites. You might then love this link: http://www.wildwomenworldwide.com/

Linda, Thanks for this quote, and thanks to Thea for the link to wildwomenworldwide. There's a fabulous painting there...go see it if you didn't already. I've also spent the past year examining my fears...of success and everything else that I am or have been afraid of. The quote and especially that painting perfectly capture everything I'm now experiencing: joy, exuberance and the celebration of life. What a powerful affirmation! Cheri
