"People always tell you, 'Be humble. Be humble.' When was the last time someone told you to be amazing? Be great! Be great! Be awesome! Be awesome!"- Kanye West
Be awesome! Be your glorious self!

"Scared and sacred are spelled with the same letters ... Every negative experience holds the seed of transformation," says Alan Cohen.
"Wow! This Scared to Sacred brought up a memory of an award I received while teaching. I was given the PTA Teacher of the Year in Idaho. I was NOT a public speaker and deathly afraid that I would stand at the podium speechless and embarrassed. I had my sister help me with my acceptance speech because she is the best public speaker I have ever heard. Well, it was not fitting my personality but thought I
better follow through. The minutes before I was about to go up I became calm. When I did get up I shared stories about my kindergartners, funny ones, and how I wouldn’t have been able to teach like I wanted to without the help from my parents. I was talking but it seemed like it was someone else inside me. It was my angel guides, for sure, it was a sacred transformation. I was in awe of myself.
I was blessed that day in more ways than one.
Thank you for helping bring back that sacred memory.
Blessings to you!
