I exist for God's purpose.

About Me

“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..

My Blog

The things I used to do

I was chatting with a friend recently and remarked that I never have time anymore for some of my favorite pastimes. I don't curl up in my favorite spot on the sofa with a blanket and become engrossed ...

Year In Review

Boy, I can't believe it's the end of 2006 already. Just thinking back on the last 12 months reminds me once again of the vastness of God's blessings upon my life. This year I turned the big 3-0 which ...

When did the leaves change?

I am sitting in my bedroom looking out the window. There's a tree that obstructs my view of the parking lot. I love that tree. I see it everyday, but for some reason it looks different today. I know w...

It's OVER... almost

After 3 long months I am proud to say I've made it through my first semester of graduate school. No one told me it would be this easy! I figure I can relax for about six weeks until it's time to pick ...

Black Butterfly
