Tua n ron sa Texas nagteach c Mam Liezl Gantuangco, my good friend. Elementary daw iyang gihandle didtos Presidio. Tua n pud didtos Mam Sheila Soliano. Tua pud sila Lui Geli ug Sir Jeffrey Lumansag and his girlfriend. Naa man jud nas news nga experiencing shortage of teachers ang Texas maong nanghire sila ug foreign (Filipino) teachers. All the best ninyong tanan! H1B kuno ang visa ni Mam Liezl so naay pathway towards green card pohon. Dali ra man ang panahon, di ra nya mahibaw-an moabot n diay ang panahon for it. 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
