Good morning, my amazing community! I've been thinking a lot lately about the incredible power of service and how it's shaped my journey. It's a feeling that has brought me full circle in life, and I couldn't be more grateful for where I stand today.
Many years ago, I had the privilege of working with the YMCA, and during that time, I was surrounded by like-minded individuals who shared my passion for service. It was a daily love bank filler, knowing that our collective efforts were making a difference in people's lives. Those moments, filled with purpose, left an indelible mark on my heart that I will have forever! I am still friends with so many people from this time and you all hold such a special part in my heart!
Fast forward to today, and I find myself in a similar place of service, within an even more incredible community. It's like life has come full circle, and all those years spent battling sickness and recovering suddenly make sense. I'm filled with immense joy being part of a community that's all about lifting each other up and being there in times of joy and need.
What really drives this home for me is the profound impact we can have on one another. Just this week, I had a heartwarming experience. A beautiful lady saw one of my ads and reached out. This beautiful stranger entrusted me with her darkest moments, and through our conversation, we found a way to bring light back into her life. I had the privilege of being there for her, and today, she's on a path to healing. It's a reminder that sometimes, all it takes is an open heart and a listening ear to change lives and allowing people to realise theirs is worth living.
So, I want to leave you with this thought - If what you're doing isn't making you happy or changing lives, why are you doing it?
We all have the power to make a difference, and it starts with embracing the joy of service. Together, we can create a world where kindness and support know no bounds and let me tell you it feels freaking amazing!
