"Life is a banquet & most poor suckers are starving to death!"
-Auntie Mame
Ask me what you wish to know! Allright, that's a cop-out. I was born & raised in Phoenix AZ to a conservative (old country) Spanish mother & a father of mixed Mediterranean (mostly Spanish)/Cherokee descent. I was always odd girl out from my darker coloring to my entire outlook on life, politics, spirituality, etc. Not a black sheep, but definitely different. Puzzled looks were the norm at my house. It felt like being a peacock in an aviary full of swans.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Bertrand Russell
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
We are what we think; as we desire so do we become! By our thoughts, desires, and habits, we either ascend to the full divine dignity of our nature, or we descend to suffer and learn.†- J. Todd Ferrier
