… 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 and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

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, Return to Love.

This lovely quote was read to me by a kickin’ yoga instructor, and good friend, Will Blunderfield, during one of his classes. After much convincing by my sister (who not so secretly loves him), I finally took his hot yoga class, and he totally rocked my muscles and my mind. His infusion of song into stretching was like nothing I had ever experienced – in the best way possible.

Anyone who can make my body burn while filling my head with music by Jason Mraz and truly inspiring quotes is more than talented in my books. If anyone is looking for a mind-elevating experience, be sure to check Will out at either Yogapod or YYoga | Northshore Elements. You won’t be disappointed.

Hope you have a namaste!
