Shane sent me this and I thought I'd share it with you all.  It is quite fitting and true.  May it bless your day as it blessed mine, arriving right when I needed to hear it.*p*Liberation*p*Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.*p*Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.*p*It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.*p*We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?*p*Actually, who are you not to be?*p*Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.*p*We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it's in everyone.*p*And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.*p*As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.*p*    -attributed to Nelson Mandela
