Courage to Show Up

After a few months of laboring away at my website and innumerate number of fine tuning, although still doesn’t seem perfect, I’ve decided to launch it today, on Chinese New Year’s Eve. On this pivotal day, I’ve decided to gather up all the courage to show up and greet the world and remembered one of my favorite quote from Marianne Williamson.

“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 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.”

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Wish you all the courage you need to shine your light brightly this year!
