Sept. 23 Feast of Saint Padre Pio

Birthday baya ni ni Arvin Navarro, my former student and confidant with my lovelife. Sus kanice sa love story ni Tintin Bersola and Julius Babao. Their 2 kids are named after their 2 patron saints, St. Anthony and St. Padre Pio. Antonia/Anya ang girl nya Antonio/Nio ang boy. They would donate images daw of the 2 saints during the birthdays of their kids. Kacute sa ilang married or family life. Actually, I have to say that I became more prayerful pud this time. Jia you Doki. You will get there ra. At the right time. Amen. Good night!

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
