Rantings and Ramblings of all things from redemption and fate to Harry Potter and Lost, breast cancer and buckeye football, with some chocolate frosting thrown in for good measure.

Detroiters carry on...
Not a lot of time to be blogging lately, but I wanted to share this article with you. Mitch Albom brings tears to my eyes, and reminds me how proud I am to live in Michigan, in Metro Detroit. He pretty much says it all...
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
