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.. your playing small does not serve the world there is nothing enlighten about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.. we were all meant to shine as children do.. its not just in some of us its 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..

A Daughter's Letter

Hi, today is your birthday, and I am not there to celebrate it with you. Last night I was thinking of the things that we shared for the past years of my life. When I was a little kid, I used to cry if you don’t bring me with your parties. I liked being with you every time you went home from your work. I have always felt that I am a princess whenever you around because my brothers will not tease me or bully me. I have been always a mama’s little angel. Now I am wondering, what I have done for my life to be miserable. I have been missing my life with you. What happened to me? Why am I in so much misery? I know I have disappointed you for the past 12 months and I have not been the same daughter that you hope you would have been. I have brought you so much disappointments and anger. Now, I am here, looking for someone to talk to but I cannot go there beside you, because I am afraid that you will not accept me anymore. I am afraid that I will not be able to face you with the broken promises, shattered reputation and disappointing daughter. I love you so much Mom, and I am very proud that you are my mom. I will come home soon and hopefully when that time comes, I will be able to tell you that I was able to come back up from the mud that I swam… I love you and I miss you so much Mom… Once again happy birthday…

Your dear daughter
