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 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 that is 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.

A New Year

It's a new semester and a new year. A chance to start over, to act like the last 4 or 5 months never actually happened. Well, not to act like they never happened, but a chance to improve life. To learn from what's happened and come back stronger and happier. And I'm going to give it everything I've got.

It is custom to have at least one New Year resolution. I shall tell you what mine is. It is to have friends... or, more accurately, to have a social life. Last semester, I was a total hermit, cooped up in my room with my homework and that was all. I barely saw anyone who wasn't related to me. But now I am determined to step foot outside my comfort zone and be a real live person again. Life is going to be new and different and refreshing and AWESOME!

Now... there is a bit of a disclaimer here. I may need some assistance from those of you who are still willing to call me 'friend'. This means a short text inviting me to movies, dinners, parties, etc. Because you love me and I love you. Right? Right....

Let's celebrate the new year with big hugs, yeah? xoxo
