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.


It’s the side of me.
That you never see,
The one that really matters.
An endless, churning, chaotic sea,
With hopes and dreams that aren’t to be.
I hate it for so many reasons,
Yet it plays such an important role.
The chasm in me that eats away,
But now is as normal as night and day.
Not a day goes by without its resistance.
Lashing out and fighting,
Making sure I can’t go the distance.
I’m right on the edge and ready to fall,
Then it will end, that’s it, that’s all.
Unless my heavy wings grow lighter,
My chains looser,
My hopes brighter.
‘Cause I can soar,
I can really fly.
All I need it the chance to try.
But the outlook isn’t bright,
It’s bleak to say the least.
So I’ll keep fighting,
For the time being,
In the belly of the bast.
