She returned many times to lead other slaves to that same freedom. She endured tremendous hardship, fears and doubts. But she had a flame blazing inside her that kept her going and she helped hundreds find that same fire to keep going in the face of daunting opposition. She wrote:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">“If you’re tired, keep going. If you are scared, keep going. If you are hungry, keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.”</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">You and I are blessed not to be literally enslaved. Yet, most of us are enslaved in psychological ways. So what is it that you need to be free of? Is it a poverty mentality? (This is hard not to have in our current economy!) </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Or is it an oppressive attitude that limits you? In the psychotherapy world where I used to practice, we called this the <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">inner critic</em>. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Is it a physically limitation you are working hard to correct? Or have you been pursuing your dreams but with little success?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><a href="http://www.susangabriel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/225px-harriet_tubman.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-183" title="225px-harriet_tubman" src="http://www.susangabriel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/225px-harriet_tubman.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Whatever it is that is keeping you enslaved, can be overcome. Call on your own inner Harriet Tubman. Call on that brave part of you that will do whatever you need to do to get free. Join the <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">psychic </em>Underground Railroad. We can all get free together. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Keep going!</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> P.S.
