Food for Thought : Depression

SPIRITUALITY AND DEPRESSION webinar next Sunday, June 24 and Wednesday, June 27.
Marianne Williamson

“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.”

Food for Thought : The Problem With Seeking the Best for Your Kids

The way I see it, creating a "better" silo for one small section of the population creates a wider divide. Just because older students are in the same classroom means very little when they all come from similar backgrounds. The token scholarship for someone less fortunate creates another dynamic altogether. It's a big picture thing.

Let's have faith that the team at facebook will figure out how to keep the bots from hijacking it. Even if they don't, who cares? Are you admitting that you can't think for yourself?
