Volunteering Update

I am feeling guilty that I will hand over my 630-730 am class to Teresa, my S'porean co-volunteer. Mao ra man ni iya matahan ug sayo. But then she understood my situation man. She said, "U need help right?" Maglisud na man gud ko kay I finish there at 730 then by 8am I have to be in Toulkok na man. Pirmi tawn ko malate. Layo gud nang Toul Tompoung to Toulkok. Last Monday I thought mahulog na ko sa moto, nalipong na man jud ko. Ako lng sya itreat to dinner pohon kung nana ko kwarta Lord, sila ni Abbey. Pls bless them always.

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
