“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.”


Purple, green, yellow, and blue,
no color truly depicts the makings of you.
Black fills too dark and red too deep,
no one color paints you complete.
Only collages, and mixtures of colors
accurately depicts you unique from all others.
Violet, magenta, beige, and blue-green
multiple combinations depicting you where God intervened.
