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

Shiny Happy Monday...

The sun is out, the sky is a beautiful blue and I feel pretty good. At least I can exhale today.

Mom had a bit of a scare this weekend. She was in the hospital for diverticulitis. Considering all the scary things it could have been, it is a blessing. And frankly not surprised since Grandma had trouble with it for years. And now her diet doesn't have to be as restrictive as it was years ago. Just lots more fiber and lots more water.

Starting the week of concerts that always surrounds this time of year with the kids. Tonight it is Nate singing and Franklin playing baritone. Then we will have Alli singing Wednesday and Franklin singing Wednesday. I am sure there are things that come up at the last minute as well. Like plates of cookies, etc. A problem for most people but I love it and this time of the year.
