BEYOND MEASURE

"OUR DEEPEST 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 IN US. IT'S NOT JUST SOME OF US. IT'S IN EVERYONE.
AND AS WE LET OUR 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"

(Marianne Williamson - and quoted by Nelson Mandela 1994 at his inauguration!

oh my goodness!!!!!!Packing fever :(

O my! I am trying to fit my life in 2 suitcases!!! I claim this mission to be possible although it kinda looks more like the opposite right now! Let mje tell you , I am sweating! I had downsized so much...at least taht is what I thought. I shipped one big box full of books to Germnay today which cost me 141 $. Crazy!!!! I hope I can check in all the way from Portland to Frankfurt. These 2 suitcases are heavy duty. I guess, I need to buy a few of those strip thingys to put around my suitcases...if u know what I mean? Well if not..too bad cuz I do not know the English word :) So off I am , packing some more and trying to get rid of things and downsize as much as I can!!!!!!!!
