Who am I to actually doubt for a split second that my child, becuase of his special needs, would not want to participate in today’s Easter Egg Hunt…or could for that matter? What type of a parent could I posssibly be to allow myself to even think so small about my son’s pure potential? Thank god for my beautiful wife. Thank god for my beautiful family and my many many blessings…and thank god for the Easter Bunny. We truly are all meant to shine.

“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.”
