2009 Affirmations e-Newsletter

14 Jul 2009
Dear Friend,

You are God's Masterpiece!

When you look into the mirror each day, do you see a work of art or do you get frustrated at the increasing strands of white hair peeping out?

Everywhere we are surrounded by impossible standards of beauty and perfection that we naturally try to recreate it in our mortal beings.

Why not try a new approach?  See yourself as a uniquely fashioned masterpiece and identify your special features.  Affirm and remind yourself that you were created for a purpose that only you can fulfill in this world!  How marvelous can that be?

"We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do." ~Ephesians 2:10

Affirmations!
What exactly are affirmations? 

These are positive thoughts that we pull out when we are feeling down and discouraged.  These are words of inspiration and hope that we use to battle negative self-talk that sometimes comes into our mind depending on the situation we are confronting.

For example, when challenged, one might say "I'll never make it!"
An affirmation for this could be "I can do all things"(Phil 4:13)

A good idea would be to collect affirmations that you find helpful and post it on your mirror or refrigerator.  If you read it often enough, it will transform your mind and empower you to be the best you can be!

Time to Affirm Others

We at Papemelroti have been able to witness hopes growing and lives changing through the Quezon City Jail Ministry...

Many of those incarcerated are still waiting for their day in court and have not even been handed a guilty sentence!

Would you like to help?  If you can donate clothes for men it will help them feel the random kindness of strangers.  They need decent shirts they can use to go to their court hearings.

All donations are accepted at all Papemelroti outlets.  Please label: Prison Ministry c/o Meldy.  Thank you! 

...whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' - Matthew 25:40

Taking Good Care of Yourself

  • In today's busy world, it's easy to just get caught up in your regular routine, unaware of ordinary things we do that can cause harm to our well-being.  Take the time to take good care of you!
  • Personal Time is important.  Take at least half an hour to be alone in a restful atmosphere and recharge.  Do some thanksgiving prayers and do some journaling.
  • Overtime at the office?  Store some whole-wheat bread, fruits and nuts to keep your body energized.  Forget the junkfood and softdrinks as they usually contain too much salt or sugar.  Of course drink lots and lots of water! 
  • Talcum powder has been a common household item for years but did you know that some studies link inhaling talc to serious illness?  Be sure to check that it doesn't contain asbestos.  A healthier alternative is cornstarch-based powders or use mineral makeup instead.
  • What if you overindulged on unhealthy food?  Counter it by drinking some green tea!  The benefits are from head to foot!
  • Can't quit smoking?  Try the classic and mint flavored alternative herb "cigarettes" sold at health stalls like Carica.  We hope it helps you quit this destructive habit and live a healthier happier lifestyle. 
  • As much as possible, choose local organic products rather than products packed with chemicals.  Your body works overtime to protect itself when it is periodically loaded with substances like Sodium Laureth Sulfate.  Good local brands to try are Milea www.allorganics.com.ph and Human Nature http://www.humanheartnature.com/ which is affiliated to Gawad Kalinga (gives livelihood to underprivileged Filipinos).

Reseller's Corner:
Featured Rookie Distributor!

Meet Lourdes Charisse Laco, our newest distributor from Canada!  She has been "into" Papemelroti since 1989. Thus, making it 20 years since!

We were so honored to find out that admittedly, she, along with her mom and sister are fans of Papemelroti.  She says, "There never was a dull moment whenever I go into one of your stores. If there is no time pressure, it usually takes me 30 minutes  - 1 hour just to  make a selection because of all the beautiful pieces. Therefore, believing in the products made me decide to resell the items."

Moreover, she says, "Canada is a big advocate of recycling. However, there's not much recycled paper products such as Papemelroti's that are available in the market.  Thus, introducing the uniqueness of the items is a big plus. It's a very promising venture."

Taking it slowly but surely during unpredictable times, she plans to distribute to Filipino Stores, novelty shops and join bazaars / flea markets in Edmonton, Alberta areas.

If you're in Canada, just email charisselaco@yahoo.com to get the latest items from Papemelroti!
