Favorite Quotation

"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

Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concerts

This past week was awesome... For the past two years I have been able to preform with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir through the Bells on Temple Square for their annual Christmas concerts. Last year I preformed with Natalie Cole and this year was with David Archuleta.They sang great and the choir was amazing.

I am so lucky that I get to be a part of that. This year after each number that the Bell Choir was apart of I was left feeling drained and tired. By the end of the week I was ready to be done, I really did not want to do another performance.

I heard a new Spanish Christmas song that I have never read before, "Los Pastores a Belen". I think it is my new favorite Spanish Christmas song.

Los pastores a belen corren presurosos,
llevan de tanto correr los zapatos rotos.

Ay ay ay,que alegres van,
ay ay ay si volveran.
Con la pan pan pan
con la pan
con la pandereta
y las castañuelas .

Un pastor se tropezo a media vereda
y un borreguito grito
ese ahi se queda.

Ay ay ay, que alegres van,
ay ay ay si volveran.
con la pan pan pan
con la pan
con la pandereta
y las castañuelas.		The shepherds swiftly run to Bethlehem

Their shoes are broken from their running

Ay ay ay, how happy they go,
ay ay ay, yes they will return.
With the bread, bread, bread
with the bread
with the tambourine
and the castanets.

One shepherd tripped half-way through the journey
and a little lamb laughed
"that one will stay there"

Ay ay ay, how happy they go,
ay ay ay, yes they will return.
With the bread, bread, bread
with the bread
with the tambourine
and the castanets.

I really think that it is a good song.... and sounds much better in Spanish than it does in English.

PS. I translated this myself so you might translate it differently
