There will always be times when you feel discouraged.
I too, have felt despair many times in my life,
but I do not keep a chair for it;
I will not entertain it.
It is not allowed to eat from my plate.
(Clarissa Pinkola Estes)

We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? is by Marianne Williamson in her book Return to Love…not by Nelson Mandela. Mr. Mandela used the quote in a speech.

Your website and articles are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
