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

Happy Chaos

I wasn't going to post again today but I was just too happy not to. Franklin brought home his friend Grant after school, (Great kid, by the way). It is the start of Thanksgiving vacation here. So I have a house full of happy laughing kids. This is why I wanted a big family, this is why I am a Mommy. I love this. I know that boys yelling at the Xbox, loud music and general chaos would make most people run for the hills, I love it. This house has been too quiet for too long. I know Grant loves it. He is an only child so he comes over here for a dose of loud craziness.

What a great way to start the holidays!
