My favorite Poem/quote...
This has always touched me very very deeply.
I was watching a movie today and they used it in the movie. Please enjoy. This is by Marianne Williamson, often people think Nelson Mandela wrote it because he used it in his inaugural speech, but she wrote it and it appears in her book A Return to Love.
Think about it. What a way to live. What would the world be like if we all lived this way each day? Each day we woke up and said I am going to let my Light really shine, I am not going to be afraid to show who I am, whom I was meant to be.
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 and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. 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.
Namaste

Yes, ever since I first read that quote years ago, it has had such a profound effect on me. I immediately printed it out and put it on my refrigerator. I want to always be reminded of that truth. I had no idea that Nelson Mandela was not the author of it. It's so good to be able to give Marianne Williamson the credit that she deserves for writing such incredibly inspiring words. It makes me want to find and read everything that she has ever written. Thank you so much for sharing that!
I'm so glad to hear that your treatment is going so well. When I first read on your blog about the process, my first impression was sort of like "Of course! Healing light!" It seemed like such a perfect process and I had this feeling of certainty that your blood would respond really well to it. I hope your progress begins to snowball as you start to get your strength back! Hearing about you doing yoga is music to my ears!
Keep shining your light, baby!
Love and light to you,
Laura
