Talking in Parenthesis

Ramblings and angst from a mostly stay at home mom

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 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 are 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 light shine, we give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela

Hello Friday

Well Fridays are now no longer Fridays for me. I got a job, I will be working on Saturday and Sundays. Just part time for now. But I am excited, sort of slowly getting back to real life. Although I am sure some people would say it isn't a real job. I will be working in a pet store that specializes in birds. And speaking of birds it was a lark that I got the job in the first place, I know lame pun but is all I could manage this morning. I was walking past the store on the way to Hobby Lobby, to get stuff for Franklin's mask, and saw the sign on the door. I wasn't planning doing anything about it but something stopped me and made me go back and go in. I filled out and application and she hired me on the spot. Pretty cool. But I am a little nervous, of course. But right now there is no time for that. Today I am channeling Martha. I got up early tossed a loaf of bread in the bread maker. And then the rest of today will be getting ready for the Fall Festival at school, sort of an early Halloween party thing, which means costumes. So I have to Franklin's mask and get everything else ready. Plus Clay is having his best friend over Saturday so I have to prepare for that and the other kids have party then too. So since I am officially gainfully employed I have to have everything ready before hand. I tired just thinking about it.
