Good Things To Remember

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel!
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. You have to agree that you are 'less' and that someone else is 'more' to feel inferior. If you don't agree, you cannot possibly feel inferior. You might know something less, or you might be able to do something less, but you ARE unique and hence simply incomparable.... Do not buy into being reduced to an object of comparison."

"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 brillant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. 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. 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 fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Our Christmas Cottage

2007 was the first year decorating our first home for the holidays! Ryan was sooo excited and he did a wonderful job! Most of the homes in our neighborhood decorate with all white lights so we thought we would be a little different and do green and red. It really made it look like a litte christmas cottage. We even had to keep driving by our house to see how cute it looked! I know, silly!



Every year for Christmas Ryans mom would give him a nutcracker....which means Ryan has a lot of them! They looked so cute on the mantle. Keep em coming Colleen! :)


Ryan and I on our first Christmas morning in our Christmas Cottage!


Our puppies opening their Christmas gifts. We bought them a new water and food dish. Yes, they were excited!! :)


Well, that's it for 2007! Finally, I know. Now on to 2008!
