"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 jut in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we liberated from our own fear, our own presence automatically liberates others."
- Marianne Williamson

Simple joys.

I think we sometimes take the simple joys of life for granted. I know I do way to much than I should, when I have been so blessed. I am so thankful for the wonderful friends I have! I am thankful for the people who smile at me in the hall, I am thankful for the ability to run, I am thankful for a home, my dads job, the opportunity to travel and see the world, I am thankful for my tooth brush and my minty fresh toothpaste, I am thankful for my best friend who is my sister I am thankful for boys who are nice to look at;) I am thankful for music especially Taylor Swift and most importantly I am thankful for family!

New year resolution!

Well happy 2012! One of my new years resolutions is that I don't want to ever make anyone ever feel left out! Recently I had a friend confront me that they had felt left out at a time, at first I was slightly shocked that they would be so blunt, but I'm so glad they told me! I just had a taste of what it feels like. I know how you feel! If your ever not been invited it's not that we plotted not to invite you but everyone gets caught in the moment of doing something and forgetting. Im very thankful for the people in my life that have always been so willing to invite me to things. So I would really like to apologize to anyone who has ever felt like I didn't want to invite them to something, I'm sorry and this year I'm really going to try and make everyone feel welcome because I know that it really does hurt.
