“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 manifest the glory of God that is within us…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 am a mother and step mother who checked out of life a long time ago due to fear. I don't want to pass this tendency on to my children so I have decided to wake up. This blog is a recording of the journey that I am on to get involved in life in order to lead a more full life and teach my children to do the same.
