I have no idea what I’m doing with this template, but I bravely go where no me has gone before.	Deepest fear....   “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. ... We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? ...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... 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.” Quote by Marianne Williamson – “A Return to Love”    This, my friends, is a philosophy that is the basis of life coaching at Musings and Mud. Each and every one of us deserves to shine- in the way that is most empowering and fulfilling to our unique self.  I adore coaching... I get to witness people shining brilliantly!    Give yourself permission to shine! What is one small step you can do this week that makes your eyes twinkle? If you had no choice but to come up with an answer, what would it be?   A Musing we will go...     Yes, it’s time to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous and Fearless!  Bravely go where you’re most creative self wants to go in an affordable course with kindred spirits!  The Creative Muse Course begins on June 25!  Registration by June 18 gives me time to order your copy of “Nine Modern Day Muses” OH, and how convenient that June’s Creative People Gathering is June 18! At the CPG, besides the social, I’ll offer a casual ‘in the corner’ introduction of  a Muse or two. Kind of like a blind date.  If it goes well, you might want to meet again.
