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. One of my favorite things is to wander around new grocery stores. Look at the different brands, at least different than what my store has.
2. I love to paint. Not pictures, but walls. It is very satisfying to leave a room with beautiful, perfect new walls.
3. After reading Shelia's post it hit me again. I don't have a home anymore. My folks moved out of the house I grew up in about 7 years ago. Silly I know, I'm grown and have my own home now. But it makes me a little sad anyhow.
