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
The theme this week is 3 Hobbies...
1. Counted Cross Stitch is my favorite hobby. I sometimes sow down but I always go back. It is very satisfying to take a piece of blank material and watch a picture take shape. It is also very zen for me, relaxing.
2. Reading is my next passion. There hasn't been a time since I learned to read that I don't have at least 2 books going. I read everything, the phonebook (yes I seriously read the new ones when they come out), the newspaper and novels.
3. I guess cooking and collecting recipes and cookbooks would be next. I love creating things in the kitchen, anything, sweets, main dishes you name it. And I love reading collecting and recipes, even if I might not ever make them.

A good friend of mine recommended "The Mermaid Chair" I think I will read it this weekend.
I have that but haven't started it yet. I enjoyed her first book, enough to read it 3 times.
