just go...

"our deepest fear is not that we're inadequate. our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond all 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 you not to be? you are a child of God. your playing small doesn't serve the world." this marianne williamson quote is so powerful as i read it in gail blankes column in real simple this month...embrace your power...i was so not motivated to go to church this morning...steves away...the alarm clock was accidentally not set...but i woke up and couldn't go back to sleep (thats what happens i guess when one actually goes to bed at 10pm on a saturday night) so off to church we went and the message today was - connect - just connect...how cool is that...sometimes in this crazy thing called life, we are so busy doing/going/running that we actually forget to connect-really connect...so today i spent the day connecting...with my mom(talking to her, not multitasking while i was talking to her), with justin (actually listening to him tell me all the names of the cats he just went and played with at our neighbors house), with nathan (actually telling me all the past quarterbacks for the longhorns), and colin (trying to read hello, clifford again to me)...its good to slow down...its good to watch freaky friday at 6pm on a sunday nite with the boys instead of finishing up that last excel project for the office...its good to just connect with life.
