I don't want to sit around and watch a bunch of OTHER people making living out THEIR DREAMS, I WANNA LIVE OUT MY OWN!
Da Vinci Code - by Dan Brown, La Principia - by Isaac Newton~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 and fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesnt serve the world. Theres nothing enlightened about shrinking So that other people wont feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest The Glory of God that is within us. Its not just in some of us; its 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.~Nelson Mandela, 1994 Inaugural Speech
GOD. THE HOLY PROPHETS.(sallahu alaihi wassallam) MY GRANDMA RACHEL. PBUH ~Rest in Peace 11/17/29 - 6/17/00~ She raised my sister and I since we were both in diapers, and is the sole reason why I am who I am today. She is responsible for all of my straight "A" report cards, having helped me with my homework everyday after school, and always promoted my education. She was my classroom room mother, and very active in my schools PTA every year, making costumes for my school plays, and dance recitals, baking cupcakes or cookies for all my class parties and would often help backstage at all of my dance recitals or competitions. Everyone called her "Grandma". All of my friends would go to her with their problems that they were too uncomfortable to talk about with their own parents. The hardest thing about losing a parent, is when they are taken from you prematurely. I had my daughter at the age of 19, and my sister had her first born son at 15. When my daughter was sick as a baby, there were so many times that I started to pick up the phone to call my grandmother to ask for advice... and then I remembered that I couldn't since she had passed away. I actually PICKED UP the phone before I realized it- it was just instinctive to call her when I had a question about anything... My grandmother is the strongest and most intelligent woman I've ever known. She was always humble, and chose to spend her money on my sister and I, rather that buy herself anything. She taught me to have self confidence and self respect. She taught me to budget my money, not to be materialistic, and to always look towards and save for the future. She taught me to seek knowledge consistently throughout my life, make my own decisions, and come up with my own ideas, discover my own beliefs and convictions, instead of borrowing or copying others. She was the best friend I ever had. She was my MOM. CHICK HEARN as my daughter said best at his funeral, "...was a nice old grandpa." LOL. I've been watching Laker games with my grandpa since I was a little girl. I used to love hearing him say, "You can put this one in the refrigerator. The door's closed, the light's out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard and the Jell-O is jiggling!" I would get excited as a little girl, because every time I heard that, it meant the Lakers were going to win! He became a legendary NBA broadcaster, calling his first Laker game in March of 1961. He called his last game on June 12 when the Lakers beat the New Jersey Nets 113-107 to complete a sweep of the NBA Finals and earn their ninth title since moving from Minneapolis. Hearn called a record 3,338 consecutive Lakers games. He will be forever loved, and missed. WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!!! There will never be another Chick! ALSO, ISSAC NEWTON, ALBERT EINSTEIN ROBERT SMITH!
