Real Stories. Real Advice. Real Moms.
WHO ARE YOU REALLY?
What makes you, you? What makes you special? What are your gifts and talents? Why are you here?. . .
Do you know? Do you care to know? How much does it matter that you know? Who will it matter to that you know?. . .
Think about it, right it down and keep it close. Do this just incase you forget and start drifting away from the special YOU that you are. We are all given talents and gifts that we are to use to better ourselves and everyone else. What will you decide to do with yours?
I want you to understand how important you are. How needed you are. How much your light contributes to the world. And, how allowing your light to shine will bless those around you. Now if you believe this to be true to you, go out and share it with the world. . . we are waiting ~
MEMORIZE THIS…
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!

Thanks for that, I needed that today! My 12 year old daughter, is always telling me how important I am. I always say thanks sweety, Momma loves you too. She says no, no your really...important, Momma! We go back and forth and I never take her as serious as maybe I should. I love to share and offer but there are times when, I feel maybe I should dim the light because I'm sure there are those who feel I have my high beams on. And often I agree because, I can feel it burning to get out. But as of today I refuse to put my light under a bushel...for any reason! I'm going to let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Thanks for the reassurance that I'm doing the right thing,
Cynthia aka MD

Recently I became aware of the struggles military families face. A friend shared that her eleven-year-old daughter was trying to reconcile that her daddy had to carry guns and probably had killed people in self defense. In addition, the father has...
