Where am I going with all this...?!

I came across this again today, it is one of my favorite quotes - and somehow it always tends to pop up when I need to remember it!
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. (Marianne Williamson)

Last night I hosted the call on Postpartum health, it was an amazing call, and we had a huge turnout! And not only that but I am already talking to 4 other experts about being featured in the coming months! I started the Conference on MotherBaby Wellness in a flash of inspiration because the opportunity to interview Shoshana on such a relevant topic came into my life and this all just grew around it - but I had no idea where it would go!

Sometimes I just feel like, "who am I? I'm just some shnook with an idea. How can I really make a difference?" But when I read those words, I remember that I just have to run with this, that I have to keep doing what I'm doing and let it grow and go wherever the One who inspired it intends for it to go...

(It doesn't take away the fear, though!)
