“Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve...you don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul “generated by love”
—Martin Luther King Jr.

The Ripples Project Weekly
First things first....Our Next 8 Minute Ripple will be October 3rd at Tambaleo. This will be a minor departure from our typical format. We are calling it a Pink Spoon version of The 8 Minute Ripple. More details to follow.
Official invitation is going out in the next day or so. Be sure to mark your calendars now.
This is a weekly newsletter from an online friend that I made named Paul Wesselman who runs The Ripples Project. I figured you might enjoy it and have perhaps have interest in signing up to receive his weekly bit of inspiration.
Enjoy and as always....
Ripple On!!!

Ripples v8.38: Ripples of COURAGEOUS STEPS!

Many of our fears are tissue paper thin, and a single courageous step would carry us clear through them.

Whatever you do,
you need courage.
Whatever course you decide upon,
there is always someone
to tell you you are wrong.
There are always difficulties arising
which tempt you to believe
that your critics are right.
To map out a course of action
and follow it to the end,
requires some of the same courage
which a soldier needs.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson, submitted by Linn W., Milwaukee WI

What are you afraid of?
Think of some fear that is holding you back from action: Is there something you want to say to someone and you are worried about their response? Have you been hesitating to move forward with a plan because you might fail? Or perhaps you hold some generalized "fear of the unknown" that prevents personal or professional growth?
I dare you to spend some time this week imagining what your future could hold if you shed this fear completely or at least diminished its impact considerably. Then, If you can muster even a tiny drop of bravery, I hope you can take some COURAGEOUS STEPS!
Peace,
Paul
P.S. Remember that I am on retreat and will reply to messages in a few weeks!
