But it is sage advice give there is more to experience, learn and be inspired by when we choose to release our fear and step into the void.Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-1539928012945508482013-08-21T21:25:29.157-04:002013-08-21T21:25:29.157-04:00Thanks, Natasha & Rosi!

But those of us who do it do it because the passion to create is a stronger driving force than fear. Thank goodness! Hope to see you at the Green Gulch retreat in the fall.NATASHA YIMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293576071916842414noreply@blogger.com
