"Our deepest fear is not that we're inadequate ... it's that we're powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most threatens us.
"We ask ourselves: 'Who am I to be this talented, gorgeous and fabulous?' Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others 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 others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
~ as quoted by Nelson Mandella, 1994
Those aren't Pobble Thoughts. She just lives by them. This will get you a lot more than just a cup of coffee.

Merry Christmas to You! We love and miss you. Have a wonderful day on Sunday and I will be in touch with hillarious stories of the Little Ones and their Christmas adventures.
The Big Man is here with me while I am writing to you, and he sends his love, too.
Get down our way soon!
Love,
The One in VA
I really like this post. I think many folks struggle with standing talk because they don't want to appear stuck up or conceited. But we are blessed with talents and should use them accordingly. Thanks for the vote of confidence and you encouragement. Merry Christmas!
