I started blogging sometime in 2005 I think. It has been a very fun and rewarding creative outlet. It still makes me feel good when someone tells me they enjoyed reading one of my blog posts. Since Facebook has such an immediate audience and it is sooooo easy I have been slacking on my blog posts.

We had just got back from The AKC National Agility Championships and a friend sent me this link to a blog post that mentioned Masher. After reading all the nice things on Michele Fry's Agility Dogs blog that she wrote about Masher and how she found out more about Masher from my blog. It made me smile because it was just the nudge and reminder I needed to catch up on my blog posts. It inspired me - It made me remember the reason I started my blog - it was a place where I could write about my passions with a little more depth. Facebook is great… but I do love my blog :)

Thank you Michele Fry for the reminder!!!!

"Listen to what you know instead of what you fear."

"Every problem has a gift for you in its hands."

"Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you. "
Richard Bach
"Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours. "
Nelson Mandela
"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, and 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 are 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 unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
