"There is no passion to be found playing small, 
in settling for a life that is less than 
the one you are capable of living."

                             ~ Nelson Mandela

Many of us need to be reminded now and then - perhaps often - to stretch into the beauty, talent, strength, and creative potential that we are.
 

Today, let's stand tall and let our light shine with courage and gratitude for our gifts.

If we feel fear, let's straighten our backs, lift our shoulders, and take one step toward greater fullness, even if the step is small. 

Let's be kind and compassionate with ourselves for all the times we have hidden - for all the times and the ways we have judged ourselves as not good enough, not ready enough, not talented enough, not enough in any way. 

Love, combined with courage and compassion, is what will best move us all forward to pathways and places of peace, prosperity, harmony, justice, and joy.

Let's call upon all our gifts.

For the good of all,
Charlene
