Favorite Quote:  “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.”“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

If You could go back in time and talk to the 12 year old  You, what would you tell yourself?   Life will throw unimaginable things at you, but it's how you react that will define you. Don't sweat the small things you can't control, and always strive to be the best version of yourself. Always stay humble in your faith and treasure your family.
