The Call

In the words of Marianne Williamson: "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 unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Catch Up

Larry - Over the past 30 some odd years we have consistently made choices that seemed to always place us on the edge so to speak - leaping with faith that the net would appear. Our next "port of call" from Valley of the Rogue state park was the Klamath Wildlife Area (KWA) just south of Klamath Falls, Oregon. Little did we know that we would fall in love with the Klamath basin and the lifestyle of volunteerism. We had no idea of what we had signed up for.

Charlotte - Seems like we haven't visited our blog in awhile so it is catch up time. After leaving the RV Park in Brookings we headed over the mountain to our first volunteer assignment in the Klamath Basin - a place we had never been before. Stopping for a few days at Valley of the Rogue State Park so we could do a few upgrades on our travel trailer and have a "camping experience". It was a little scary going to a place we had never been before to take on an assignment working for people we didn't know.
