Carnival

A few years ago the kids' school started having a fall carnival. It's the big fundraiser for the year for PTA so we don't have to go around begging people to buy overpriced gift wrap or cookie dough. I love it and we always go and spend our fair share of money. I never did any of the other fundraisers and I think a lot of people are like that. It was lots of fun! So, here are a few highlights.

Kristin: Fun! We used to do those when I was a kid. I wish they still did them. I usually just buy the cookie dough...; 10:03 PM
Cissy: We always love our school carnival, too; we even have a fun silent auction that is a very successful fundraiser. Unfortunately, the PTA has not killed the Sally Foster, etc. stuff. So I continue to ignore the gift wrap and cookies while I remind myself that I already did my part at the carnival and auction.; 5:24 PM

Inspiration

"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 doesn't 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're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
