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. The first Christmas that Brinton was starting to understand Christmas. He kept checking his stocking every morning to see if there was anything else in it. It was very sweet.
2. Alli's first Christmas. I had waited so long for a girl. Shopping for girlie stuff was soooo fun. Of course the next one was even more fun because she could actually play with her gifts.
3. I think I was 5, the year I got my kitchen set. It remains my most favorite toy of all time.
