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, 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 won't 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's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."
-Marianne Williamson-


Her emotions plummet behind the horizon with the sun;
The voice taunts her, “You are alone.”
Outlines of cars fade into shining headlights;
The voice taunts her, “You are alone.”
Masses of people file into their homes;
The voice taunts her, “You are alone.”
Creatures huddle together for slumber;
The voice taunts her, “You are alone.”
All of Earth’s particles settle into their crevices;
The voice taunts her, “You are alone.”
So she searches the shadows
But mistakes the dark silence for solitude,
And she believes the voice;
“I am alone.”
