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.

Some of the Cutest Ever

Christmas Slippers

My Dear Family & Friends,

Somewhat embarrassing to admit, I'm not getting an annual bonus and Christmas is tight this year. I will be making bedroom slippers for you all as gifts. Please let me know your sizes. You'll most likely agree that it's a splendid idea, and should you wish to do the same, I've included the instructions below.

How to make bedroom slippers out of maxi pads:

* You need four maxi pads to make a pair.
* Two of them get laid out flat, for the foot part.
* The other two wrap around the toe area to form the top.
* Tape or glue each side of the top pieces to the bottom of the foot part.

Decorate the tops with whatever you desire, silk flowers (this is most aesthetically appealing), etc.

These slippers are:

* Soft and Hygienic
* Non-slip grip strips on the soles
* Built in deodorant feature keeps feet smelling fresh
* No more bending over to mop up spills
* Disposable and biodegradable
* Environmentally safe
* Three convenient sizes: (1) Regular, (2) Light and (3) Get Out the Sand Bags.

I've attached a photo of the first pair I made so that you can see the nifty slippers for yourself....

Awaiting your response. It's crucial that I get the right size for each one of you.


Nose

I tried to break my nose today. In PE I was playing basket ball, and Weston, my friend, was guarding me. I must have run into his arm really hard or something, because my eyes started watering like crazy, and my nose killed. Not to mention that I could feel where I had bitten my lip. That was bad as it was, but NO, it had to get just a little worse. My eyeliner started running down my face. I looked like a Goth in PE clothes. I am not kidding when I say that I had it all down my cheeks. And my nose hurt till about seventh hour, after which it turned into an awfully bad headache. And being in band eighth hour only made it worse. But other than that, I had a good day.

Phoenix Alliance

Today, I had to go to an orientation lecture thingy-ma-bobber that the Phoenix Alliance did. They are a youth group that stand against tobacco use. The lady that talked to us helped get some ideas to help us stop smoking and chewing in Emery County. It was really good. I just signed up. I want to make a difference. If you are under age, you should sign up. Help stop tobacco use. The http://www.utahphoenixalliance.org/ is website if you want to check it out.
