Last week Dell, Jen and I ventured up to Winter Park to help out at the Women's Quest retreat. For their first day at altitude and after a full day in the saddle, the women were asked to put a few words to how they felt..."free"...."strong"..."brave"..."like a 7 year old again!"
Jen simply answered, "proud". There were few words to descirbe how wonderful the group was, how incredibly powerful, and motivating it was to see a 74 year old ripping down trails. How refreshing it was to hear how proud working women and mothers were as the pushed their limits well beyond what the thaught possible!
We were proud of our women, proud of our group :)
The leader of the camp, sent us on our way with closing "soul food" that explained how the power of the group helped us all:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
We ask ourselves whom am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous...
Actually who are you NOT to be?
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same..."
That's why we we do this...
Keep on shining! :)
