Marianne Williamson

“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.”

Family is Family

In the wise words of Kacey Musgraves and her song writers I would agree, Family is Family.

Every time I hear this song, I am intrigued by its truthfulness. 
Everyone has different feelings toward their family. We are given the attributes of our parents and our ancestors, but our personality and our character is who we decide to make it. Whether good or bad, it is through the experiences we have within our families that we decide who we want to be. They give us a desire to be exactly or Nothing like them.
-"You might look just like 'em, that don't mean you're like 'em
But you love 'em"
-"Don't get you at all, but your apple don't fall too far from 'em"
With my family, every reunion starts out the same way, I get so excited to gather with my family! Then while I am with them, I remember that they drive me CRAZY. 
Time does wonders for the brain, as after they leave, it isn't long before I am excited to see them again. And-the-loop-just-keeps-a-turnin'. It's like an unspoken rule.
-"You'd wash your hands of them, but blood's always thicker"
-"They're there when you're married, divorced, and remarried
You fall out of touch, but then someone gets buried
And you're right back together like no time has ever gone by"
The choices we make take us down different paths. We become different people, but somehow we always revert back to family. Why? Well, the whole is greater than the strength of its parts.
-"Family is family, in church or in prison
You get what you get, and you don't get to pick 'em
They might smoke like chimneys, but give you their kidneys
Yeah, friends come in handy, but family is family"
You may not even understand why you keep coming back to them, but that doesn't mean you stop.
-"Can't live with or without 'em, you might talk about 'em
But if someone else does, well, then you'll knock 'em out 'cause
When it's all said and done, they're the only ones that you got"
"They might not be fancy, but family is family"
-"You might look just like 'em, that don't mean you're like 'em
But you love 'em"
