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 Friday

I am a happy camper right now. (do people still say that or will I get the you are so lame eye roll from my son?) I got my books, I got my books. I can't begin to describe how my I love opening a book for the first time, e it a fiction or non fiction book. Don't matter, the window to a new world thing. I am so looking forward to setting up this website. I really want to do something special and unexpected for my Dad. It s hard to get anything for him, he either gets whatever he wants when he wants it or he has hobbies that you can't really buy things for without him being right there. So this will be really cool.

Oh in case you haven't noticed I changed the look of my blog. I just couldn't look at the grey anymore. I know, I know, I just said I wanted grey but not in my blog, in my sky. Which by the way is a beautiful blue, with light clouds and you guessed it WINDY. It was a good thing I went out and got the trash can yesterday because the folks that didn't had to walk the neighborhood to find theirs. Gotta love the wind.(did you feel the sarcasm in my voice?) I am also thinking about adding a new thing to side, my current Netflix movie. I will think about and do it after the bus if I do it.

Now back to my books!
