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

Amaaaaazzzing Girlies!!

Once again, it’s been a while since I was here but today I’ve been catching up with the lovely people I follow…. and have been blown away!

So, what I’m writing about today is just how amaaaazzzzzzzzing I think you girlies are… and before anyone objects to the term “girlie”… I have decided to reclaim it from the realms of patronising mysogony & use it to celebrate the wonderful, fun, exuberant energy of all that is female & fabulous. SO THERE!

Anyway, I’ve been reading posts that you girlies [ :-) ] have been writing over the summer into the autumn &, like I said, have been blown away. What a fab bunch of emotionally aware & articulate & intelligent & thoughtful & passionate women you are!

You may not feel like it but, take it from me, you are already reaching for the stars in comparison with my generation. Life is out there waiting for you - GO FOR IT GIRLIES!!

One more thing…. you are all SO gorgeous & beautiful as well as being intelligent & multi-talented… so don’t let anyone tell you different! :-)
