Our Deepest Fear

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 most 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 is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people
won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine as children do.
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 when we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

Quick Update

Ok, so, since I have not been updating my blog lately, here goes. The Saturday before school started, I participated in the Peach Days Pageant (part of the local celebrations) and I won the Jr. Ms. Peach Days 1st Assistant. I sang "Leave the Pieces" by the Wreckers. I didn't mess up on my onstage question, and I did really good in the private interview with the judges. I felt like I did really good. Then, school started the next Monday. Since then, I have made a new friend, and lost a lot of sleep. But I enjoy everything about school, except the sleep part. But all's well that ends well.

Crap. But then again, a blessing in disguise!

Today, my father and I went up to Spanish Fork and Orem. I had an ortho appt. We got that over with and wentto Orem to the DI to see if I could find a dress for the Peach Day Pageant. Before we got there, we went to the America's Best in Orem. We were pulling into the parking lot to park. This lady was driving into the same parking lot from a right angle to us. She couldn't see us. There was a landscaping truck in the way. M dad didn't see her, not that he couldn't. I saw her. I thought she was driving a little too fast for a parking lot. I thought we missed her, and then...WHAM!!! She hit into us on the right read fender. Nobody was hurt. We were all a little shaken, though.
And then, before we could even talk to her, this dude, who witnessed the whole thing, went up to the lady and started getting after her. RUDE.. I got out of the car, went into America's best, and my dad stayed out and talked to the lady. They called a policeman, and he got the whole thing worked out. My dad felt sick.
But, on the other hand, it was a blessing. My dad and I could just as easily have been on my dad's motorcycle. That would have been seriously bad! But we were in the car.

My Ruined Morning

This is how I feel right now.

This morning, I went in to the dentist's office. It was the first time that I had my teeth cleaned since 2005. My mom wouldn't get me an appointment since I had my braces, even though I asked my orthodontist if I could get them cleaned and he said yes. She didn't want to have it done just in case they did something wrong and ruined my braces or something like that. I don't know. But anyway, the reason I my morning was ruined is becuse I found out that I have two major cavaties. The one isn't not as big as the other, but bad. I am going to have my tooth pulled on the eighth of September. It sucks!!!! I hate my teeth. I have rotten luck, or should I say I have rotten teeth. When I was little, all my teeth came in......and they were all rotten!!! I had a cap on all of my baby teeth. Since then, I have had three root canals. I am only fourteen. When I got my first, I was only nine. NINE!!! Like I said, I have rotten luck. My parents have spent thousands of dollars on my teeth. I thing that I have had more major oral surgeries than all of my four older sibling combined. My mouth doesn't like my parents checkbook. But the money is not the point. The point is that I am going to have one tooth pulled, and the other they are going to try to fix. I have never gone into a rutine cleaning without something wrong if, if I remember right. I hate this. I am nervous. I am mad. I am sad. And I am a little scared. Believe it or not, throughout all my surgeries, I have never had any of my teeth pulled. And now, my teeth hurt. It didn't really hurt before they stuck that little pick down in the cavaty. Like I said, it sucks!!!
