			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All of today&#8217;s photos were taken on a very cold day (for California :~) in November of 2010.  It was the first frost of the season and I remember being captivated by the sparkling beauty.  It was one of those moments where I simply had to go get my camera. Isn&#8217;t it interesting how photos taken during the depth of winter seem so Spring-like?  I guess that&#8217;s one reason why I *LOVE* California&#8230;</p>

<p>I met with my Think Tank this week.  We get together and brainstorm for each other.  It&#8217;s a great way to grow your business.<br />

<p>It&#8217;s a beautiful campus:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="So Soft by Simply Fearless Cassandra Rae, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cassandrarae/3910898892/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2569/3910898892_6936e03f1c.jpg" alt="So Soft" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>Oh my heaven&#8230;I&#8217;m in heaven!  I came over to the Palo Alto Art Center to register for the Book Class and I thankfully brought my camera.  There is a community garden next door with a plethora of photo opps.  My soul was quite literally shouting in ecstasy as I browsed the twisted aisles of fresh veggies and flowers.  It is crazy beautiful here!  What a blessing.  And I&#8217;m blown away by how much it nourished my Soul.</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
<p>This is it.  I&#8217;m really in a groove here.  My <a href="http://simplyfearless.com/resources/newsletter/"><strong>newsletter </strong></a>went out this morning and it was smokin&#8217;!  My next <a href="http://simplyfearless.com/2009/09/is-pressure-holding-you-back/"><strong>Coaching Call</strong></a> is filling up.  I&#8217;m connecting with new people.  The books are under way and the ideas are flowing. Thank you Soul!</p>
<p>And now I&#8217;m basking in the beauty of this amazing garden.  The above photo is by far one of my all-time favorites.  It&#8217;s so soft and colorful.  Oh and FYI no post-processing!</p>
<p>click <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cassandrarae/"><strong>here </strong></a>to view all of my photos on flickr</p>

&quot;The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.&quot;<br />
~ Tennessee Williams</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cassandrarae/2748000979/" title="Touching the Leaves by CassandraRae.com, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3223/2748000979_22745a20c0_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Touching the Leaves" /></a><br />
&quot;The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.&quot; ~ Anne Frank</p>

&quot;The sun, with all those plants revolving around it and dependent upon it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.&quot; ~ Galileo</p>
