I had this mini-campaign to appeal to my friends to donate to Yolanda victims. I'm so happy we were able to raise a certain amount that garnered an appreciation from my friend's HR department. Though the appreciation/recognition part is just a bonus, really.
Honestly, I did not really go dragging all the people I know into donating--- I only shared it to people that I feel strongly about because (and I've proven this to be true):
1. I know that not everyone will participate because we all have needs too (no judgment, that's why I always say regardless of the amount as long as it's sincerely from the bottom of the heart).
2. Some would probably think "Where is this coming from?", I know. Three years ago this is so not me. But had you lived my journey, you would be advocating for this too.
3. Because as I have experienced, when you give wholeheartedly, it somehow, sometimes even magically, goes back to you, threefold. And I would like for my friends and family to experience it too.
And it's true. Because just very recently, I realized that almost 1/4 of my vision board for the year came true for this year alone and it's not even December yet. All the major ones and things that I am very serious about came looking for me when I was just all about hoping for the best during the start of the year.
And also because when I gave from the utmost sincerity of the heart --- I received another blessing much more than I was expecting and hoping for.
Thank you to my friends who joined and participated and will continue to participate (some in their own individual way). I can't wait to hear about your blessings too!
