Favorite Quote:
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, and 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 people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.


Put on a mask and join in the show.
Lies and untruths in the animal glow.
Your mind will fog, your eyes will glaze
Lost in the darkness, the smoke, and the haze.
Blood red starts in a burning sky,
Cursing the moon as the light starts to die.
The sun bleeding ichor. Our minds past console
Jump into the abyss, it's the Carnival of Souls

This was the result of a shifting paradigm, due to a singular piece of writing. Everyone has their demons but not everyone choices to fight them.
