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.


As my world crumbles,
As it falls into the sea,
I only see the ugly truth-
The depth of what’s in front of me.

The darkness showed me light.
Once blinded I could truly see.
Overlooking the reality no longer
Things now seem so foreign to me.

Now broken and surrendered,
With the world in perfect clarity,
What I use to know is reborn
From the depths of the churning sea.
