Courage of Fear Quote: Feathers

“Throughout our journey, many people will fly in and out of our lives. What glorious feathers they will leave behind! “

I hung on to that relationship like no other in my entire life. I fought hard for its survival and once beaten and torn I was forced to admit defeat. He was gone and gone for good this time. Unable to accept its ending I didn’t believe life could get any worse.

It was very early in the morning in California when i heard my daughter’s frightened voice over my phone’s messaging mac

Courage of Fear Quote: Expectations

“Expectations imply that one knows best.”

K, where this quote came from is short and sweet… yeah, right!

I once dated this guy (yes, i used to do that too.) Sometimes he would initiate conversations like:

Him: Why do you hug so many guys?

Me: I hug everyone.

Him: It is obvious that guy has a crush on you. Why do you talk with him? Aren’t you just encouraging him?

Me: If I stopped talking to everyone that had a crush on me you and I would never have another conversation.

Him: Why are you alway

Have a grand day all.

Motherhood; feedback required

A mother is only as happy as her saddest child.
I wondered how other people did it being mom, dad, sole financial bread winner, housekeeper, nanny, cook, accountant, mechanic, personal trainer and coach, role model (all the while being a kid yourself and trying to figure out your own puberty)… and at age two all she said was “But mommy, I can’t find it.” Referring to the missing shoe you asked her to retrieve. Gravity to the floor in helpless heap thinking surely you would never survive thr

Courage of Fear Quote: Don’t give up before the miracle

“…don’t give up before the miracle happens.”

In Courage of Fear inspirational writer, Angela (the protagonist), spent most of her life doing the right thing; first, being of service to others then planning, setting and accomplishing goals to create a just life…her husband did the same. This was the true bond that solidified their relationship. They made each other better for the world in which they lived. They always knew the right thing to do, both individually and collectively. Then one d
