“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.”

Friday42905_058 "If we’re really honest with ourselves, there are probably times when we think, "what possible use can I be in this world? What need is there for somebody like me to fill?" That’s one of the deeper mysteries. Then God’s grace comes to us in the form of another person who tells us we have been of help, and what a blessing that is." [Fred Rogers]

My girls…(Betsy, ME, Edna, another one is missing in NY) are the ones that nurture me and remind me that I bring something to this world and they have been impacted by my contribution. I do the same for them. I can’t believe so many years of my life I didn’t have this fellowship of sista soldiers–so glad that time is no longer.
