So, I’ve been thinkin…what would it be like in a world of ME’s. I laugh at the thought to be honest! Picture this… Lots of energy with a sprinkle of fun. Then add a “dash” of fast and smother it with passion. Add a good bit of determination and motivation along with a dollop of confidence and endurance. Then throw it up in the air because you just realized it had been sitting on a bed of glowing embers. Now watch it smatter into pieces and blow beautifully around and around being picked up by the wind and spread far and wide.

Well, one thing I know for sure; a whole lot would get done, and I am certain the ME’s would figure a way to get even the things that don’t come easy…BUT here lies the problem…with no U’s there is chaos and not a whole lot of order. Not only that, but think about it, would the ME’s really have the energy to do the things the ME’s were really meant to do? Would the ME’s have the focus to be able to spread far and wide the way they are intended to spread? I very seriously doubt it! Because this is what the U’s bring to the ME’s… The peaceful and relaxing noise of the ocean that calms the energy and slows the fast. The lakes and ponds that provide reflection enabling a transparency and the the feelings that inspire and motivate. The U’s also provide the trees that dance in the wind and ground the motivation and determination. And what about the direction of the passion? Well, the paths of the earth are able to guide the passion’s way and give it ground to stand on!

Moral of the illustration? I am SO grateful for the U’s of the world! Without U’s the world would not be the same! So I’m just sayin’ a BIG FAT YAY for the U’s!!! This ME is also very grateful to have U’s in ME’s life!

Debbie Rose continues to work with Pioneer Circuts in Santa Ana, California as the key player for taking the Path4Teens to high school students in Cambodia.  A small group made their way in October of this year to take the Path4Teens into the villages of Cambodia.  The attached photos are a beautiful display of the work of her hands in this country.  Debbie and her boss, Mr.Jim Lee have recently trained a second person, Nancy Prerk, in the Path4Teens.  Nancy grew up in Cambodia and left during the war to come to the US.  She has been here for about twenty years and will return to Cambodia with Debbie in March to translate the Path4teens alongside Debbie with more high school students.  This is an amazing vision that Mr. Lee has for this country.  He is passionate about taking the path tools and leadership resources by Laurie Beth into Cambodia.

We are delighted to be part of this expansion into Cambodia through our friends and partners at Pioneer Circuts under the leadership of Mr. Jim Lee.  Blessings on your return trip to Cambodia in March.
