Dame Hrothny is Laurelled. Well done! High time!!
I was late and missed the ceremony which sucked but I made it to the event despite the 2 days of fever prior and an unexpected detour to be Kilmeny's ride. Below are my sentiments for all artisans:
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 does not serve the world. There is 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 is not just in some of us; it is 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.

Yup, I read A Course in Miracles and Conversations with God. Tonight PBS had on Wayne Dyer talking about the Power of Intention. Cool stuff.
Anyway, I got back from Coronation (which was way cool and much like a Green&Gold reunion) only to collapse and sleep. Remember I am still doing my Body for Life challenge in between everything else. Next I headed off to MD to do some painting and make some money. While there I also received a beautiful set of prayer books given to me by one of my Ozzie friends at Pennsic (except of course I wasn't there to get them in person - thanks Tink!)
Got home today only to unpack and repack as I am attending a wedding in Dover DL this weekend and leaving tomorrow after my workout.
Next week should be less hectic.
Should be......
