Stay magnificent

Dear friends, it has been a busy week and time away from my computer. I am delighted to see the richness of the treasure box which keeps on growing in beauty and with grace.
I wanted to share with you something written by a wonderful woman and teacher. I had the fortune to meet Marianne during one of her workshops long ago, but her spirit continues to touch my life even now. I hope you enjoy this:

Marianne Williamson - Our Deepest Fear is that We Are Powerful Beyond Measure

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. 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.
