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 doesn't serve the world.
there's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other people 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 other people permission to do the same.
as we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

I dedicate this to all the people in my life who love me. you will never know how much your support has helped me through this tough time of transition and acceptance of change. words cannot be written enough to express the love in my heart for you. being able to call and just be looked upon like a friend means more to me than I can ever say.

thank you.

:while cocking head to one side and "mock"-drawing twin guns from my hips and with my best Elvis impression say:

thank you very much. :wink:

i am a dork, but you love it.



2-20-05 was a sad day. Hunter S. Thompson, thanks for the truth -however bold and bizarre. We loved you, we will miss you.
