living arizona: happy birthday,

Monday, February 8, 2010

happy birthday,

to an amazing woman, who once stuck her bare arm inside a beehive. who birthed 10 babies. who gave me my first sewing lessons. who once made a costume for my school talent show. who used to give the best toothless kisses. who left a very large legacy, and an even larger family behind.

whose blood is in me, and it makes me proud.

happy birthday grandma dot.

i still miss you.

"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. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God within us. It's not just in 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."
-Nelson Mandela
