deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…. Your playing small does not serve the world.

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….” </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Marianne Williamson, A Return To Love . </li></ul></ul>
