thoughts on birth, motherhood, and life
"Goals are dreams with deadlines"
-Diana Scharf Hunt
Our worst 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 and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God; your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone, and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people premission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.- Marianne Williamson

That's great.
I don't know if you caught my status update yesterday, but I'm more than a little disgusted that while Facebook says breastfeeding pictures that show part of the nipple or areola go against their decency policy, they have no problem accepting ad dollars and displaying ads from American Apparel. The ad I saw showed three or four shots of the same girl in various states of undress posing as if she were in Playboy.
So breastfeeding is obscene, but sexually provocative pictures of a model who looks underage is just fine?
I spent way too much time trying to figure out how I could complain, but I couldn't find anywhere I could lodge a complaint. Do you have a link?
Brilliant analysis, Angela - I totally agree!

This is such a great clip! I would like to put it on my blog, but didn't see an embedded code? Where can I get it? And do you mind me linking to you?
Hey Corin - of course you can link to me...can't recall how I did it but it was easy enough at the time...I could try to send you the embed code (must put it in the other posting mode)
