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."

Backyard Fun

The Fence- Just one of the many Summer Projects!
"That fence was a lot of work," Ryan just said. He installed it all by himself. Not because no one offered to help, but because he wouldn't accept the help.
"That makes me sound stubborn," he says! He sure did do a good job!

Another Project Underway!
Days after the fence was complete, Ryan decided to start building a deck. Does he ever rest? No!"Nice picture," he says! (Yes, he is sitting with me as I type!)


Ryan enjoying his project! Thanks for the chairs mom!



Sprinkler Surprise!
Ryan looks innocent here, but he definitely isn't!

Grandma said no to getting wet, but Ryan thought it would be fun anyway!
(So did Emmi and Alex!) My mom and I sat back and laughed and laughed!
