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

Three Things Thursday
1. I had 8 different official majors in college and more unofficial majors than I can count. I started pre physical therapy, moved to pre med, biology, wildlife biology, education, political science, history and finally anthropology and sociology.
2. I watched The Color Purple for the 1000th time last night and still cried.
3. Each on of my kids first names has a family meaning and significance, with the exception of Nathaniel. By the time we got to the 4th boy were had run out of unique but not weird boy names with family meaning and just picked a name that with be both liked.
