 4. Which figure completes the pattern? I wish I could pay Ate Renee back for all the beautiful clothes
that she gave me and my sisters. l'm planning to do something, but
it won't have to be of greater or equal value as I was determined to
o do in the past. But, this was not about that.
I wore that first jacket I tried on during Team Lyqa's Final
Coaching. lt was a tangible reminder to keep doing what I was doing
o -teaching people and helping them pass the Civil Service Exam. lt
was the perfect boost to own what I was doing and train my energy
o into it.
The next year will be extra challenging. I made the decision to
focus on teaching Civil Service Examinees. I will have to be more
o frugal, but on the wardrobe aspect, l'm all set.
All because I gave the gift of receiving. And that's nry two cents
I on that.
