Days like Today

...make me feel like I can conquer the world. There are so many things I want to do, to try my hand at, rekindle forgotten passions, discover new ones. I am so grateful for these magic moments of clarity when all the pieces fall into place. I realize that there are times when I feel appreciative of others gifts and talents, which is good, but at the same time I can't help but to ask myself why I wasn't given talents of such caliber. A couple of months ago I came across this quote:

  "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the 

glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."

I realize that I am the one who decides what I can and cannot do. I am so grateful for inspired leaders, for women who are bright, strong, caring, and who radiate charity. I love the new ward that we are in. I love belonging to His church. I am grateful for my Heavenly Father's bounteous love. 

I am so grateful for the wonderful people in my life who inspire me to become a better person, wife, mother, daughter, friend. 

I am convinced that there is a purpose behind crossing paths with every person that enters our lives.
