DON'T BE AFRAID OF YOUR SHADOW!
Don't Be Afraid of Your Shadow!
In this painting, Rudy is stiff and nervous, looking back over his shoulder at a very large, but playful shadow who is ready for a game of ball. Fear keeps us from trying new things, from experimenting and enjoying hidden talents and from exploring the world around us. Don't let it rob you of JOY! Happy Howl-o-ween!!

Rudy Visits Mpondo School, South Africa
Reading SHOOT FOR THE MOON at Mpondo School in S. Africa was a highlight of my September trip to the region! The school is located in the Zulu village of Mpondo, and while the school's facilities were impoverished, the kids were enthusiastic and seemed to enjoy the book. They have no computers here and are in need of basic supplies, books, etc. If you can help, please contact Zulu Nyala Lodge for info on how to help.

S-T-R-E-T-C-H Yourself!
S-T-R-E-T-C-H Yourself! Try new things, rise to the challenge, and get rid of limitations imposed by others or yourself!
I am not a trained artist, but I adopted Rudy, and started a painting class at the local adult education program. Rudy's pattern is so fun to draw, and after encouragment by artist Sheila Norgate, I jumped in. It's been a joy ever since.
I read one quote/suggestion which advised trying one new thing every month; it doesn't have to be a momentous goal like running a century--it could be signing up for guitar lessons, taking your first solo trip, applying for a new job that is bigger, or even going to a movie alone.

Listen to Your Teachers
LISTEN TO YOUR TEACHERS
Teachers come in all shapes and sizes. It could be a person, a pet, an author/filmaker/artist or nature. Pay attention to your intuition or to the knowledge coming your way from other sources and be open to the flow of ideas. Have a great day!
