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..☼

☼ Sweet Sixteen and Friends

June 22: I turned 16 and my day couldn't have gotten better!



I woke up and got ready to go out to lunch with my Mom. Lani went the day before, but since it was ACTUALLY the day of her birthday I invited her to come along. We went to ihop and ate a good brunch :] Later we went shopping and got Lani a camera. Mine won't come til tomorrow, so I have been using Lani's :] hahaha She's thee best. I got home when usually the first instinct is to go on facebook [which is not good] and my mom told me to go to my room! I was very confused and had no clue why, but she told me to just go, so I did with a onry attitude. To my surprise I found my room decorated with balloons, confetti, and presents. My best friends decorated it with love and I started to cry with Joy. I got a lemon creme pie from Marie Calendars instead of a cake, because I have been eating so much junk food the past couple of days.

[My decorated room][All the balloons][My sister Leilani and I][Lighting the candles][I got frosting on my shirt!][Making a wish][Blowing][I saw my trek brother and he made my day]

I am so grateful for my mom who brought me everywhere and for my dad who is always there. I always wonder about the future and how everything is going to turn out. I wonder about who I will marry. If I will have kids. Where I am going to end up. If I will even die before I'm 30. I know Heavenly Father has a plan for me. He knows my whole life and he knows where I'll end up, so being beside him is a blessing I should cherish through out my whole journey. I am excited for the future and if it doesn't go my way I know that what ever His way is, It'll be the right way and everything happens for a reason :]


Yesterday Holly and Sarah brought me out to lunch for my birthday. They are the greatest friends in the world.
