soultravelers3

As we roam the world unhurriedly on our grand  family adventure we hope to stay connected to family and friends and meet new friends along the way in person and thru the blog. Just like the song “this little light of mine”, we hope to let our light shine  and share it with others and each other as we learn and grow on this journey. We hope there will be something good for you here. Come join us!

“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 and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking So that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are 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 are liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.”
-- NELSON MANDELA 1994 INAUGURAL SPEECH
