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

Letting Go

Ron and I have a decision to make for the summer. Clay has been invited by his best friend to spend 2 months this summer in Minnesota helping on his uncles farm. He really wants to go. And the family of his best friend are great people, I am totally comfortable with his spending that much time with them. But am I ready to let him go? Can I spend the summer without him? Like I said before this parenting thing is hard...
