Taming the Dragons: Fear of Success

The first time I ever heard this quote, I was watching the awesomely amazing movie Akeelah and the Bee. It’s a wonderful movie about a 13-year-old girl from South LA who tries to make it in the National Spelling Bee. Definitely a worthwhile movie and I highly recommend it.

Akeelah meets with her mentor, and he has her read this quote out loud.

What does it mean?

I’m not supposed to be afraid.

Afraid of what?

…Me…

It’s a powerful moment, and one I was reminded of the other day when I was struggling.

Toddler Twins

It’s hard to believe these sweet little babies are about to turn two!

Here they are, “helping” each other with the sweaters that Grandma knit them.

I actually think they were more interested in the buttons than in each other!

A kiss from sweet Matthew to suspicious Molly.

And Molly returns the favor with a great big hug!

These twins have been such an incredible blessing in my life. I can’t describe how amazing it is to see the two of them growing up side by side.
