What is your deepest fear?

One of my favorite quotes for many years is one that I've only heard from time to time, but never been able to find. I recently heard it again in a movie, "Akeelah and the Bee". A very sweet movie by the way. Anyway, I was reminded of how much I love it and so my friend Buford got on the internet and found it for me. Its so good, I had to share.

"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, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? 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 all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." ~~Marianne Williamson

Thanks for finding this Beags. . .

Its been an uneventful week so far. I've spent a lot of time at home, as usual. Since I am gone so much, I find that when I'm home I become very hermit like and just love to be in my own space with my dogs. Its been really cold and I've found myself rather lazy to get outside for much more than little walks with Duke. Typically I'm itching to get out and go skiing right about now, but instead, I find I have no interest in it at the moment. Its okay with me for now though. Work has been quiet and slow for me too. Hence, the blog post from my office. I'm so glad to be home, but am so anxious too. I'm anxious for my trip in a couple of weeks. I get to go and meet Jim and Nikki's, new baby boy in Boise, then on to Vegas to meet up with Erik for a couple of days, then to St. George with bunches of my family for Christmas week. I'm so excited to see everyone I can hardly stand it. It feels so darn good to have this to look forward to. We have lots of snow here in Nome and its plenty windy, cold, and dark. There has been some beautiful moonlit mornings/afternoons though.

Dillon is in the process of making some changes on my blog, so you may start seeing things a little different with colors, pictures, and links. He's pretty creative so it will be fun to see what he does.
