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.”

30 Day Song Challenge

My imaginary friends,

[Read this post in your best cheesy announcer voice. Think Space Jam.] I have decided to take on the most difficult challenge in the blogging community, [Pretty limited to female journalism majors and Julia Child fanatics, but that's beside the point.] the 30 Day Song Challenge! [Ya'll ready for this da na na da da da da na na da da da. That's my attempt at the Space Jam song...] Actually it's not going to be that hard, [You may quit reading in an announcer voice now.] but I really wanted something to write about for the next few weeks. And I stumbled across this baby on Facebook.

Just in case you want to follow along with me. I will be following this list over the next month, answering the questions, explaining my answers, making silly jokes about my explanations, you know the drill.
