"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, 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."

i've been wanting to make one for years and finallyyyyy - i did it!
i woke up this morning feeling really great because i didn't have anything planned.
it was nice to sit in bed with absolutely nothing to do, nowhere to go. i felt...free.
it was a really good day.
to end the night, i watched "abduction" with a friend at the dollar theater.
the reviews for this movie were terrible, but i still enjoyed it. it was fun. :)

I'm reading "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World" right now and I'm learning so much. The best thing about this book + Bible study is that it is designed to make you open your Bible. It's great. Anyways, I just wanted to share something that touched me this week. See below.
He said, "The trouble with you is this: You have been thinking of the quiet time, of the Bible study and prayer time, as a factor in your own spiritual progress, but you have forgotten that this hour means something to Me also."

Mind-blowing, right? I know.
finally...thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays! Christmas, being the other. Yes, I love the day-after sales and the precious time you spend with family. But, what would Thanksgiving be without the food?
I made my first turkey last year and it was really good. Not to brag, but I'm pretty sure I have the magic touch when it comes to cooking. Haha. I can make just about anything. Give me any recipe and I'll prove it to you! My family will speak on my behalf! My favorite thing in the kitchen is the oven because it can do everything! I will never live in a country without ovens. Never.
When my dad compliments my food, it means the most because he's an AMAZING chef. He could have scored his own show on the Food Network if he'd been into that sort of thing back then. I was floored when my dad got up for seconds last year because he NEVER gets up for seconds on Thanksgiving. He doesn't really like turkey. So, last year was a success! Thank you for appreciating my cooking, dad!
This year, the house will smell of roasted turkey, stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes & gravy and corn once again. And, it'll be a little more special this year because Thanksgiving will be spent in Irvine (my very favorite place in the world).
I'm already planning out this year's Thanksgiving menu in my head. Hehe. I hear my mom's sigh of relief because Thanksgiving is no joke, people! It's serious stuff.
I imagine most of my shopping will be done at Trader Joe's. TJ's is a good place to start if you're new to the whole "cooking for Thanksgiving" thing. I'm fairly new and TJ's has everything you need! Pumpkins and all.
I'm hungry now...
back to december.
I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up, and I know why
Because the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses, and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time
These days, I haven't been sleeping
Staying up, playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed, and I didn't call
Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came, the dark days
When fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love, and all I gave you was goodbye

So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right
I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand
This is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time, all the time
