To my children with love mom

May I lay my life down... may it be as a carpet that you can walk on.... may my example be to you that of Christ... may my words be seasoned with kindness and generosity and when they fall in that regard may He protect your hearts......

you are the most precious ones who walk the earth with me..... may I not be selfish with my time or the thoughts of me.... may I not think of the immediate moment but may I think and plan for each moment so that you live a life filled with grace, and wonder, and magic and love......

When I am tired or impatient and I miss celebrating you or your achievements I am sorry.... I hope that you will always know and always have it within you that you are all amazing to me... each one of you created so uniquely... so beautifully... you are all wonderfully and fearfully created to walk upon the earth and reach high for all that is yours....

May I be that ladder you can use to begin your climb and may you find that when you get to the top that you have grown wings and may you soar to the highest heights...

With all my heart and with everything that I am I love you... I adore you... I celebrate you

One of my Favorite Narnian Quotes...

“One word, Ma’am,” he said, coming back from the fire; limping because of the pain. “One word. All you’ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn’t wonder. I’m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won’t deny any of what you said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things – trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that’s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We’re just babies making up a game, if you’re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world that makes you real world hollow. That’s why I’m going to stand by the play-world. I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Narnia. So, thanking you kindly for our supper, if these two gentlemen and the young lady are ready, we’re leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for the Overland.

A Brilliant Quote from Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,

but 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 enlightening about shrinking

so that others won't feel unsure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in every one.

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.
