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

Phase 2

The next phase of my life is due to start this weekend. Gulp. I am learning to how to hand feed the baby birds at the store and will start opening after memorial day. Gulp. I am up to 32 hours per week and that may go up depending on what is needed. I am excited about doing more at the store and learning to feed the babies is amazing. But this means this phase of being a mommy is over. Exciting and sad. I am excited to see the kids grow up, to see the people that they are becoming. But I also have no more babies, only one is small enough to really snuggle anymore. You these different phases are coming but you are never prepared for it... Gulp
