Never Give Up

☼ 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. Your playing small does not 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. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

☼ If you can't accept me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best.

I think I fell in love with this song..☼

Phoenix and Las Vegas..a week to remember.

Last week my family went to Phoenix for Dawson's baseball tournament. It was a big blast! It was warm and very beautiful! Watching Dawson play, watching a cub's game, going lazer tagging as a family, eating out, seeing the Mesa temple: just many things! It was a joy, yet our hotel was right by a dairy farm, so the smell was a joy too! I wish I could go back. I loved staying in Vegas as well, but to me it was kinda scary at first, hahaha, so much better during the day time! :]

Anywho, life is grand and the sun is shining! Almost done with 3rd term and I can't wait. I can finally wear flip flops :] Choir concert soon and also volleyball is so much fun! We did great our last tournament. :]

Bright Times=Happy Self

This whole week has been so happy and I've been laughing a ton. It's the weather. Everything about the bright, happy sun makes me smile and make others smile. Yesterday and Today I've been feeling more outgoing and ready for new explorations. So today during long lunch I came back from a short dentist appointment right to a HURTFUL orthodontist appointment, then to subway to get a wonderful teryaki sandwich. Yummy! hahaha my ortho before was like pulling my gums off..it killed, but it was kinda funny, so I wanted to laugh. I LAUGHED OUT LOUD.A TON. with Alexis today. She and I were laughing at my puffy numb lip that would stay stuck, so my other side would go up. I wish I could have seen it in a mirror or something. Joe came to sit by us, but we warned him we were weird, he kinda regretted sitting down. HAHA-Joe is a great friend! Anywho, I left with Bree, Allie, and Danny to Burton's room, because Danny started categoring what group I would be in, like mental. Hahaha wow, I laughed a ton. I hit myself trying to open Burton's door and I was on the floor..bursting in laughter, hardly breathing. I love life. Tomorrow: Arizona here I come! I have been blessed with so many wonderful blessings and I am aware. I hope my smile and week and conversations in the halls has changed someone for the better this week. This week is a week to be grateful for so many things and I decided I'm going to write 5 things in my journal everyday that I'm thankful for or that made me happier.

Just the little things make a difference. Send a smile on. :]
