Welcome to Mrs. Schwerin's Home Page

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. 
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
 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.
