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? 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

I love that quote.
okay...entrancing was the word I first thought when I saw this picture. Where did you find a flower with pink and white petals? Just lovely.
And this wonderful quote. I've thought about its message before even though I've never heard this quote. It's absolutely right. God made us and we are a reflection of Him, so that's why we just need to let ourselves shine.
This quote speaks volumes to me! Both an encouragement to shine AND a reminder to not settle for less than what we are to do.
And as always, I'm sorta jealous of your photo skills...
LOVE THIS - makes me want to sing "this little light of mine"
