    ...a favorite quote of mine from Marianne Williamson:

    "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, 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...within us.

    It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And when we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

    As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

    Thanks for helping liberate me, everyone!You are all magnificently beautiful/handsome and irreplaceable

    I just typed out a huge thought provoking thread about spiritual growth/personal growth, but lost it due to only being able to do two a 24 hr period (sorry I was such a hog)

    What a wonderful post, now I know why I lost mine!!!!!

    Don't let the org take away your dreams, hopes, talents, loves, passions and desires for some time in the future when you can have them right now, It is not selfish. It is loving and giving.

    Celebrate yourself!!!!

    Merry,

    That was a really thought-provoking quote. I liked the idea that by shining ourselves, we give others permission to do the same. I hope that the smiling faces on JWD will help many others yet to light their own torches.
