I looked in the mirror and thought "Who the heck are you?"
Maybe it's the rapid weight loss, maybe it's the time spent on myself (a new thing I started when I hit 40 years old), maybe it has been the emphasis on outward things like clothes (finding things that fit my shape has changed to finding "cute" clothes which seem to grow to unwearably big things in a matter of weeks...I feel shallow sometimes), maybe it's closing my gallery...
In anycase, I feel a bit lost today. My counselor gave me this quote attributed to Nelson Mandela but written by 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 does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. 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.”
May we all learn to uncover our lights and shine brightly!
