My Journey Not to Settle...anymore!: Dose of Sunshine

My favorite quote (or reminder as I like to think of them)...

“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.” (Marianne Williamson - A Return to Love)

Dose of Sunshine

I've been dreaming of vacations again lately. I shouldn't be, what with me opening a new business and all (just 5 short months ago), but I am, we are, and we decided that we're going. That's weird.

I'm gonna to have to close the bakery, but each day brings a little more peace about that decision. I realize that I may loose some customers, but then again, I might just gain some more. You know, the kind that get that my family and my sense of peace come before all else and those that too feel the pull of the short amount of time left to spend with our/your children as children with adulthood looming in the all too near "future".

So we're going on vacation. And just dreaming of the warmth of the sun baking on my skin is enough to fill me with happy. I do love a good dose of sunshine. Then again, you probably knew that.
