Snowboard Magazine's Women's Annual issue is out on stands! Snatch it up for a good read that is all about female riders, product, and girl talk. When I read it, Gretchen Bleiler's part stood out most to me. An article she wrote herself is all about being you. It is normal to want to win, but that doesn't define you. She talks about where she was and where she is now. It is a powerful article that ends with an awesome quote by Marianne Williamson:
"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, fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsioulsy give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Snowboard Magazine's Women's Annual is good stuff and it only comes out once a year for us to enjoy-- so PICK IT UP!
