I love this quote:
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 must 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 is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not in just some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others – Nelson Mandala
This is my 500th post!
I have been so scared to write (something I truly LOVE to do). I criticize myself for not spelling properly, not knowing how to fix my grammatical mistakes when the computer edits my writing… not feeling like I am worthy of even being called a writer.
Sometimes I stop and erase a post because I wonder and worry about what someone might think…
Yet really…
I write to release a part of myself.
I write to remember a special day or thought.
I write when I am lonely.
I write when I am happy.
I write to remember things that I am so thankful for.
I write because I really want to leave some of me somewhere for my children.
I write here as a start … because it is a passion. Where it goes is yet to be seen!
500 posts. Baby steps. I have loved writing. I have even more so enjoyed all your comments whether on the blog or Facebook. Thank you for being my sidekick in this journey.
