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 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 fears, our presence automatically liberates others.

We are so glad to hear you are doing well. We also can't wait til Craig gets there. Let us know how the visit goes. Thanks for the great Mandela quote. Love, Dad and Mom
Great to read your update and I share your enthusiasm for the Maertens boys' reunion in Spokane. So glad to hear you're enjoying the AF and WA ... I'm only hoping Wesley will join you both next year!
