HEIDELIZA

I did wonder what my life will be after I finish my PhD phon. I knew that I wasn't looking forward to teaching 8 classes in CDU again. Then this LDE Research Associate opportunity came along. And di gani moconflict with my doctorate studies nga need ipatiwas kay diri ra mn kos Pinas lagi, no need mn ko nga tua didtos Holland. So walang katapusang pasalamat jud ko ni Lord. Amen. Jia you Aunty Doki. Keep the faith lang jud always. Amen.

Fresh Pick

A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson
(as quoted by Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech, 1994)

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 frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are we not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn't 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 fears, our presence automatically liberates others.

--The Power of Focus, 2000, by Canfield, Hansen and Hewitt, p. 159
