A lücüllan feast....

Find one way today to live lucullanly! Feast your eyes on a beautiful painting, a delicate flower, a favorite photo. Soak your mind in a bath of scientific curiosity. Run your fingers through your hair. Wrap your heart in a blanket of compassion. Be kind to yourself. Be gentle with yourself. Do like Dali Lama do.

Here is a favorite quote of mine from Marianne Williamson... a reminder to be fabulous. To live lucullanly. To shine. To give the bird to the "mere" and the mediocre! BE FIERCE!!!! I run an mentoring group for female business students at the university where I work. This is a quote I shared with them last week. Revel in it and share it with one of your fellow lucullan lunatics!

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 the universe. 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 life 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. - Marianne Williamson
