Worth & Value (of my work) {New Moon in Taurus}

Because Taurus is so practical, being an earth sign, & because I actually set some intentions on purpose, I'm already seeing tangible little leaflets of growth on my Taurus tree (which is my business, Taurus ruling that area of my life). It's very delightful. I've created a new name for my photography business & other little awesomeness.

 I chose to answer some questions within myself first, however. Taurus is ruled by Venus, & Venus, goddess of love that she is, adores values & worth. I asked myself questions about the value & worth of my business. Before the New Moon invested fresh energy into that aspect, last Saturday, I asked myself these questions, & for a bit, was quite shaken by them. As I almost sneaked into my bio, "I sometimes have no idea [what's special about my work]."

My worth doesn't come from being the best photographer in Central Pennsylvania. My value doesn't come from being the most technologically & business savvy. My contribution (my worth & value shared with others) come simply from this:

I believe in what I do, I am passionate about it, & I aim for sincere authenticity & truth. 
Is that enough? 
Exceedingly.

I'm still, in part, reinforcing my answers within myself (the moon is about the inner world, therefore most usually illuminates it). You could call it convincing myself, but that wouldn't be entirely accurate, since the truth is already within me (& you!), I need only realize it.

So, in realizing it, & acknowledging my worth, my value, my contribution, (apart from the temptation of comparison & contrast), I have been able to own my business, because I own myself.

 I planted a seed, & it is growing within me so swiftly, I'm becoming rather...to be honest...afraid. Of myself...
I entreat you to scroll down a bit & read it (especially if you long to own yourself). I would post it here, but as I am going to post another rather long quote, I shall refrain.

"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 and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
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."
~Marianne Williamson
