“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. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Marianne Williamson
I have been talking about doing this blog for months...and thinking about it for even longer. I have started up a couple in the past, but they have fallen by the wayside. But this...writing, expressing myself...is something that I really do want to commit to. Not only because I find it therapeutic, but because I do think it is one of my God-given gifts, meant to be shared. So I am taking this more public platform to make myself vulnerable in an effort to be myself to the fullest, to let my light shine. I believe that sharing myself in this way is part of my purpose and that God means to use me in this way.
"And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light." -Gen 1:3
