My new friend Estela shared this on her blog, and it was too good to keep to myself....
"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." ~Marianne Williamson

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. ~Matt 5:16

Look at all that I have been missing on your site this week, Tara. A ton of give-aways and your very fabulous new design. You look good made over.
It is high time we made our love for your blog more official than simply following. I'm picking up your button today. You are the one and only girl that we would feature.
