When we take a minute to reflect and enjoy the full spectrum of influence “WE” have on the world…Damn! it’s a fantastic reality. Of course you already know there are those who find fault with or have a problem in OUR celebration of US, but Fuck em!
We are far more then we sometimes allow ourselves to be.
Nelson Mandella said: “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. (and others). We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

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!
Aiight!
