Our Greatest Fear...

I talked to one of my best friends this morning and she was saying she has always been embarrassed when someone talks about her abilities, her gifts and/or how special she is. She has fought this for most of her life and while talking to her about it, I realized that the same thing has been true for me. While talking to her about it, I remembered a quote from Marianne Williamson, found it online, sent it to her and I have enclosed it here for all of you to read and also take to heart. We are all special and we are all meant to shine! Please read and know you are GREAT!


“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.”

This was given to us by Marianne Williamson and my wish for myself and all of humanity is that we take this to heart and manifest our greatness in everything we think and do.

Thank you for sharing your time with me. You are appreciated!
