The Butterfly Effect: How Your Life Matters by Andy Andrews

"Every single thing you do matters. You have been created as one of a kind. You have been created in order to make a difference. You have within you the power to change the world." - Andy Andrews

Has there been a time when you thought about the meaning of your life, or an instance when you think whether or not a little act you're about to take would matter to anyone at all? I have. The Butterfly Effect: How Your Life Matters by Andy Andrews reminded me of those times. In the Author's Note, Andrews told about his own crossroads and how he managed to find a better, if not the best, perspective in life.

I Won! I Won! I'm One of the Winners of the Roaming Roños 1st Blog Contest!

Weeeee!!!!! Happiness! It's my first time to join an online contest, and I WON in The Roaming Roños 1st Blog Contest!

I never, not an ounce, expected to win. I just thought what-the-heck I really do like their traveling and biking escapades. It's not so much for me to make a comment on their blog. I'm dreaming of becoming a traveler on two-wheels (check my #35) and be a full-pledged mountain climber (based on purist standards) by conquering an alpine slope. I'm keeping tab of their Himalayan adventure and possibly other off-the-beaten-track adventures for reference. I'm thank them for sharing all that. If you share the same interests, hop on to their site!

And back to the contest, being one of the winners give me more reasons to show my gratitude. Thanks a lot Mr. and Mrs. Roño! I'm looking forward to a day of pampering.

Prayer for the Family

Sharing with everyone a Prayer for the Family from the Pontifical Council on the Family's plans for prayer and reflection of families before the 4th World Conference on the Family, Manila, 2003.

Lord God, from You every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. Father, You are love and life. Through Your Son, Jesus Christ, born of a woman, and through the Holy Spirit, fountain of divine charity, grant that every family on earth may become for each successive generation a true shrine of life and love.
