Grateful Flashback
I was scrolling my Facebook earlier because I was looking for a specific photo for me to post in noise cash. But interruptedly speaking, one memory brought me back to the good old days.
My husband and I have for a long time made groups on Facebook for online sellers in the Philippines (started 2011), and then tried to assist people when they had issues with a buyer or a buyer with a seller. I am not going to share the groups and pages because I don't do it much anymore due to a lack of time and stuff. My daughter hasn't born yet when we started by the way. We also tried to help with scammer issues etc. This was mainly my husband's role because he is a very talkative active person. He loves to give pieces of advice and push people to be their best to get the best results out of themselves. He doesn't do it anymore too due to a lack of time (he works 2 jobs 6 days a week and sometimes doesn't take days off) but we do still have all the groups running by itself hehe.
We also have several different Facebook pages. I myself use these pages to share our updates, our photos, our blogs, etc. But the most important thing I use our pages for is to advertise other sellers. For example, you are selling a purse and post an ad, I will copy the ad and post it on our page and then tag the seller. I truly do this out to help people. We never expect anything in return, we sure aren't getting paid for it, nor do we expect to be. Now being a full-time mom/homemaker, I stopped due to lack of time as well. But if someone needs my help, I am always there as long as I am able.
The photo above is just a minimal percentage of the gifts we received from the sellers. I swear, I got like a huge "Balikbayan Box" of gifts from online sellers. For the last couple of years, this has been something that happens. We received perfumes, beauty soaps, lotions, bags and purses, jewelries, shoes, baby clothes, skirts, shirts, food, and many others. Most of these online sellers who became our very good virtual friends are now making big names on Lazada and Shopee.
I am just grateful. Remember, give from your heart. Do what you do for people because you care about them.
I am not posting the photo to say, "See what we got for doing good deeds?" I'm saying look how much it moves people that you do good deeds! You are touching a place in a person's heart when they know you do it for only one reason...
BECAUSE YOU CARE!
Just a short gratitude post and a beautiful memory that made a huge difference to others and to me and my husband. When I care, I do it with all my heart. I care because someone has to.
Anyway, that's all for today, my amazing friends. Help when you can, (big or small), spread some random act of kindness in any way you can, but don't ask anything in return. Trust me, you'll be blessed with more. Unexpectedly.
It is a higher priority than any time in recent memory to search for approaches to help in our communities. We need each other like never before. Post a few thoughts, and perhaps they can swell out, inspire and help other people too.
One love
