What if life is just a race with yourself to see how much of your beauty and love you can express before you die—and the fear of not being good enough is keeping you stuck at the starting blocks of the race? 

You're not good...

You came into life with a set of gifts to share with the world.

There are no exceptions!

If you're living and breathing you have inner gifts that, when you share them, will light up the world. But that's not all.

My elementary school lunch-yard had a raised concrete platform at one end. My friends and I loved to use this platform as a stage, and we had so much fun acting out our favorite books together.

I was recently remembering those performances, and something special happened as I recalled the scene....

This week's Guardian Word feels very inspired (even more so than usual!) and it can be used as a helpful tool.
