“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. 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 liberates others.”

I Love This Man, I Love This Man

Ok while I have folks who will disagree with me on this commercial, I totally love it. I am sappy like that. This commercial makes me think about my husband. No, he is not perfect. I been married to him for 14 years. With him for 16 years. Two children with him. He is my bestest friend and the clown of the house. In this day that is Father’s Day, I honor him. He is the best dad my kids could have ever had, trust me the ones I could have married would have had my kids in therapy for years. But he is more than a dad of great caliber, he is a wonderful husband. Ok, he may have done so screw ups in the past but dag, he owed it, faced up to it, and dealt with it. I admire that in him. He was not chicken squat. But most importantly, as the quote says, “I am because he is”. Ok overly romantic I know. But I feel that way, those are my feelings and I own them. He is so supportive and his support has allowed me to become the woman I am today. He is the man beside the woman. So there are moments when I lose myself in thought thinking of my love for this guy…and I find myself saying, like the woman in the commercial, “I love this man, I love this man…” Thought you should know. Happy Father’s Day Hon.
