So this quote below is from Nelson Mandela...and my mentor Rosemary read it to us at our retreat a week or so again...and I just thought it was soo extremely powerful...and soo very true...and something we should all think about...ENJOY! and thanks nelson..."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.”

Its actually a quote from Nelson Mandela, quoting Marianne Williamson. :-)
I think it's a great reminder...no matter who said it in the first place! :)
I'm going to share it with my juniors and seniors today at school!
Bekah, what school are your teaching?? When did that come about?
well to be precise its rosemay wilson quoting nelson mandella who may or may not have been quoting someone else...and soon to be bekah walker quoting...
and in malias marvellous blog she says its a quote from nelson mandella, not ever claiming it be an original quote from him just that he said it once which he did and in so saying that she is in fact right...
but for reals who cares...i mean really this is not a scientific paper we dont need to use the correct citations and reference system i mean malia has graduated with 2 degrees this is a blog page of her thoughts and feelings not a thesis...ok im done now
