Hi ladies,

I have this poem that is posted in my office and I read it practically everyday. I would like to share it with my readers. It just reminds me that in living this life as a child of God, there is no need to fear, doubt, or shy away from who God has made us to be. With that said, as we stand firm, confident and powerful, let us remember to stay humble in ourselves, but be boastful in God. In doing so, we will "Make Him Famous." Enjoy the poem.

Our Deepest Fear

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 does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some of us,
it is 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.

-Marianne Williamson-

Thought for the Day

Whenever darkness seems
to cloud your veiw,
open your spiritual window blinds,
and let some light in (The Word of God).
