The word ‘ugly’ is unusual in that it originates from the root work “fear.”  This odd relationship clarifies the origins of what is truly “ugly”….namely “fear” in its many forms.  Fear affects the small things in our day to day lives.  If we have the courage to step over that threshold of fear, with even the smallest initiative, whole new vistas open….humans connect. A true example of taking a small initiative to step over that threshold of fear.  The icing on the cake was a glowing review in the Vancouver Sun, Sept 14 2005
