Looking for Beauty in Everything

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 doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
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.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Our Deepest Fear

Musings

It’s been ages since I last posted - SO much has been going on that I’m struggling to keep up - I’ve thot several times of writing my thots here & then chickened out - who would read it? Who would WANT to read it? Oh shit! What if someone DID read it?! I haven’t quite solved this dilemma so I’m off to have a shower & go see some great mates for the afternoon :-)

Here is a pic of me & Amy - my gorg girl :-) I’m very proud of her, not just cos she did well in her exams but cos she’s great :-)
