in the beginning

it was and so it is.  here i am.  and there you are.  so close and yet so far!  i created the blog to accompany the website i'm building for my paramita work.  not sure where this is going to take me but when do i ever?  the fact is, there isn't much that i know, so not quite sure what there will be to share.  what i do know is that i am excited about being able to write on a consistent basis. sillyness and joyness and maddness and other esses. oh the drama and excitement of anticipation. of creation.  it's been a long time coming.

today i was editing text for the website and i remembered a quote.  it serves as a reminder for me to reach....to shine....and transcend the fear that i, like so many of us struggle with....

our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
it is our light nor 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 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'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.
