Every day I walked into a Starbucks last year, they pushed this movie at me. I forgot for some reason about it. Tonight, I was sitting around doing wedding craft stuff and I saw this was playing on cable.

What a fantastic movie. It tells the story Akeelah Anderson, a young girl from a disadvantaged school who has a knack for words. Its really inspirational, and really a sweet film. I highly recommend it.

My favorite saying is a motif in the movie:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."
