Hello Seattle!

Hello Seattle! I'm here in Seattle for the Summer on an internship with the Flourishing Families! I took these pictures on our little tour of Seattle, where we got to stop at the beach, and then went to Pike market, and a little park at Queen Annes, where I took the picture above of the Seattle cityscape. It is a beautiful place, full of green trees and rolling hills! I love it!

This pic was our walk to the mall, we got to walk there with this beautiful view, even the sidewalks are pretty here!

This is another pic I took at the Queen Anne's viewpoint.

Here's the beach of the Puget Sound, there aren't many waves, but there is a ton of beautiful driftwood, and the view looking away from the ocean is gorgeous, green trees everywhere! I'll post a picture of that next time.

So far I've been having a great time here, we haven't really started working yet, so this week has been a lot of going and seeing places. I still need to go back to Pike Market and get some pictures there, I forgot my camera, but it's a really fun place, and I'll get more pics up soon. Last night we went to a U-dub football game, it was pretty fun, they had a hot dog eating contest which was pretty funny to watch. Anyway, I'll be posting more about my adventures here!

I'd love to hear what you think!

Words of 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 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."
— Marianne Williamson (A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracles)

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..."
— Dr. Seuss

"Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."
— G.K. Chesterton

"Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh?" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's hand. "I just wanted to be sure of you."
— A.A. Milne (Winnie-the-Pooh)

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."
— C.S. Lewis (The Four Loves)

"Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people."
— Eleanor Roosevelt

"You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body."
— C.S. Lewis

"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be."
— Douglas Adams (The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul)

"It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not."
— André Gide

"It is our choices, Harry, that show us who we truly are, far more than our abilities."
— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets)

"All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt."
— Charles M. Schulz

"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."
— Albert Einstein

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the tesimony of our Lord. 2 Timothy 1:7-8

"I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
— Henry David Thoreau (Walden: Or, Life in the Woods)

Mahirap ang buhay pag guwapa!

— C.S. Lewis

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."
— Winston S. Churchill

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."
— Audrey Hepburn

"We accept the love we think we deserve. "
