"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 frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when 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."
Based on a quote by Marianne Williamson

This is not one bit off topic.  It is very true and so insightful when you consider what we are facing and what our lives will be like after surgery.  Thanks so much for sharing this.  I have copied this and printed it.  I want to carry it in my purse and I want to share it with my children and my best friend who is afraid to have her doctor refer her for surgery.

Thanks again,
Ann
