Nothing Moves People like People Moving Together

At the moment I feel a bit lost with the course. Like I'm going through the motions, but I can't find my heart in it. The last two years I was motivated, but this year I feel like I'm dragging my feet a bit. Once bitten twice shy kind of thing, but I have to get past it and find my motivation again else there is just no point. 

The group project, Multi-Media, got me down last year and it's doing the same this year. I feel we've wasted two weeks of our ten weeks already. I still haven't got any real way of communicating with the group apart from Rich. Jaime's influence to stop people working with me seems to still be around the others. Tomorrow I am going to be more insistent that we agree roles or at least tasks to get on with. I'm hoping the poster has been done to advertise for people to contribute to the site. If not I'll do it myself. I'd really like to get involved with co-ordinating 'consumer content' - content sent in from site users. 

I am going to try and talk to Jaime tomorrow, nothing heavy just try to get some communication going between us. If she wants to be involved with this group project I am going to make it loud and clear that this year she isn't getting rid of me. 

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.
