Dear
,
As this is February and the month for love, I’m asking you to send some love to some people you don’t even know.
For the past several years, I have worked with Hospice in Krugersdorp, South Africa on a fundraising event to raise money for medicine and other supplies needed by the hospice patients. This is a small hospice that services people of all races, religions, and walks of life. Many of these people have no family. One of my favorite things to do each year is to visit hospice, do a motivational program for the patients, and then stay for lunch and a chat with the patients.
Now, they have a need and I am asking for your help. The van that had been donated to hospice by Pratley Manufacturing back in 1999, has died. This van (or combi as it is called in South Africa) has done over 300,000 miles of collecting, delivering and loading everything from food, tables, and chairs to patients, staff, and orphans. Needless to say, the loss is huge for EVERYONE at Hospice in the West. Patients can’t be collected, supplies can’t be picked up, and the need is indescribable.
Bottom line! They need a new van. If you can assist in any way, it will be greatly appreciated. If you are in South Africa and you have a van or know someone that has a van that can be donated to them, that would be miraculous. If you are in the USA or other parts of the world and you can send a donation……….here’s what I’ll do.
For a donation of $10.00 to $25.00, I will send you an “Expect Miracles” cuff bracelet. For donations of $26.00 - $50.00, I will send you one of my motivational Cd’s. For donations over $50.00, I will send you a copy of my new book, “You Are More Than Enough” which is being released mid-March.
In South Africa donations can be made to Hospice Westrand, ABSA Bank, Krugersdorp (630241) Cheque Acc Nr 712 172 622 Ref: Combi & Your Name. Please fax your deposit slip to 011-953-4738 to ensure that a Tax Exemption receipt can be issued and that we have some record so that I may get your gift to you.
In the USA, you can send your donations to Turning Point International at P. O. Box 231360, Las Vegas, Nevada 89105 and I will send one wire transfer to South Africa. Be sure to make the check out to Turning Point International and write on the bottom for Hospice donation.
For further information, feel free to contact Dominique in South Africa on 011-953-4863 or fundraising@absamail.co.za.
Thank you in advance for your gift of love,
To love and be loved is one of humanities deepest desires. Too often it remains an unsatisfied hunger, burning inside. Feeling unloved over a long period of time can cause us to feel unlovable. We retreat into ourselves, locking away our feelings and desires because we feel we are not good enough, pretty enough or smart enough to be loved by the people around us. Depression, frustration and anger often result. We push people away because it is easier than feeling the disappointment of not feeling loved. Most of us have experienced these feelings at one time or another in our lives. If and when this should happen to you, there are some simple ways you can begin to feel better about yourself and regain some of your joy in living.
Sometimes the only thing we feel like doing is to just crawl in a cave, pull a rock over the entrance and cry. The loss of a loved one, whether through death, divorce or change of circumstances, can trigger a wide range of negative emotions. If we continually express these negative feelings, we find ourselves stuck in our misery. At times like these the only thing we can do is to just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Keep getting up, getting dressed, going to work or school. The comfort of routine and the stimulation of outside events help, over time, to lessen the power pain can have over our lives.
- Do something for someone else.
Volunteer to help at a soup kitchen. Drive a senior to the doctor. Get involved with Habitat for Humanity or a community action group. Clean up graffiti or join a community clean up project. Whether you help someone you know or step out of your comfort zone to work with people you’ve never met, you will not only accomplish good in your community, you will feel better about yourself. It is much easier to love and be loved when we feel that our life has value.
- Do something for yourself.
It’s ok to do something for yourself. You deserve it. Read a good book, take yourself out for a special lunch, take a nap or go for a walk. We live in a hectic, stress filled world. If we don’t stop and remember to care for ourselves, we can begin to resent everything else we do and that leads to feelings of being unloved and unappreciated. The little voice starts screaming inside, “What’s in it for me?” Give yourself a mini vacation from everything you “should” do and do something just because you want to.
Whatever you do, whether it’s your job, a favor for a friend or treating yourself to a day at the spa, do it with love. Entering into any situation with feelings of dread, resentment or frustration will only make the task more difficult. Find something to love about what you are doing. If there is nothing in the situation that you can love, then it’s time to love yourself enough to make some changes in your life.
Mind Workout: Possibilities |

What It Is
A plan to help make every moment count and make your life more enjoyable, satisfying and rewarding.
What You’ll Need
A spiral notebook or empty journal.
How It Works.
For the next two weeks, keep a time log to see exactly what you are doing with your time. On your calendar or day planner, jot down EVERYTHING you do during the day – from getting stuck in traffic, to cooking dinner or selecting your wardrobe for the next day.
Identify time wasters and all activities that are not necessary, as well as where you are spending time that does not contribute to your goals. You will, of course, identify time spent on areas that are getting the results you want.
Schedule your day. Plan to go to the grocery store on the way to pick up the kids from soccer. Plan a route for least traffic and most tasks. Make a list of daily, weekly and monthly tasks that must be done. If you plan ahead instead of remembering at the last minute, you will feel more organized and find that you have more time to do the things you want to do. You’ll even find time for a spontaneous lunch with a friend.
