Life is not what you get from it, but what you bring to it.

So I randomly woke up out of my sleep several minutes after 12pm & decided to check my Myspace before I fell back asleep to see if I got any Bday wishes.
Well not only did I get a Bday wish, I got THE Bday wish - from my Godfather.
I want to share part of it with you all because it is the most inspiring thing I have read in forever - & it made me cry, and made my night!
If this is the only "Happy Birthday" I get, I am content.
I never see my wonderful Uncle Jamie, but he inspires me everyday to be a better person & touch the lives of those around me.


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? 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 all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's 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 "Return to Love"



Happy Birthday to Me :]
