Our Deepest Fear

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 and fabulous?
Actually who are we not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't 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 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.

Crap. But then again, a blessing in disguise!

Today, my father and I went up to Spanish Fork and Orem. I had an ortho appt. We got that over with and wentto Orem to the DI to see if I could find a dress for the Peach Day Pageant. Before we got there, we went to the America's Best in Orem. We were pulling into the parking lot to park. This lady was driving into the same parking lot from a right angle to us. She couldn't see us. There was a landscaping truck in the way. M dad didn't see her, not that he couldn't. I saw her. I thought she was driving a little too fast for a parking lot. I thought we missed her, and then...WHAM!!! She hit into us on the right read fender. Nobody was hurt. We were all a little shaken, though.
And then, before we could even talk to her, this dude, who witnessed the whole thing, went up to the lady and started getting after her. RUDE.. I got out of the car, went into America's best, and my dad stayed out and talked to the lady. They called a policeman, and he got the whole thing worked out. My dad felt sick.
But, on the other hand, it was a blessing. My dad and I could just as easily have been on my dad's motorcycle. That would have been seriously bad! But we were in the car.
