Meant to Shine

“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.”

Late Night Ponderings

Bonjour non-followers,

        It is 2:03 AM, I'm watching late night TeenNick shows that no one has ever heard of, and listening to my dad snore on the couch next to me. A typical Friday night at home. I had intended to get a lot of work done making ornaments for friends and family, but was sucked into the bowels of the couch and haven't been able to pull myself out yet.

        I must be the queen of procrastination. Honestly, no one can put off work like I can. Thus why most of my posts have been made past midnight. But I suppose all of my work gets done eventually. All of the important work anyway. I'm being uninteresting and completely not clever. Not worth your time reading.

      Goodnight, my dears, I will continue to watch pointless TV for a few hours and then inevitably fall asleep on the couch. Here's to early morning infomercials, beer-snoring, and a relaxing night at home.
