“ There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not 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.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Marianne Williamson Author
“ Do to us what you will, and we will still love you. Bomb our homes and threaten our children, and as difficult as it is, we will still love you.

We will not only win freedom for ourselves, we will so appeal to your heart and conscience that we will win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory. Martin Luther King, Jr. Civil Rights Activist
