Validation - Smile!

validate: to recognize, establish, or illustrate the worthiness or legitimacy of

This was shown to me by a teacher during one of my trips, and it instantaneously clicked with me.

The message about smiling, about validating/saying nice and encouraging things to not only friends and family, but strangers as well - all this made it such an inspirational film.

See for yourself!

So I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

To wrap up this blog post of a lesson, get a name-tag, and write with me:

"I will validate."

RE: Once Upon A Time...

I have a confession to make: a majority of the time, I only half-listen to the homilies...but I am trying to change that...because I tend to not understand them or it does not really connect with me.

Oh, for those non-Christians, a homily is the priest's sermon following the readings, usually in response or in relation to the message presented in the Gospel reading.

However, a recent homily definitely caught my attention.

A couple weeks ago, I wrote something related to happiness.

Coincidentally, or by fate (whichever you believe in...I know I am a strong believer in fate), the homily that the priest gave on the following Sunday was on happiness.

I'm gonna keep this short and to the point.

He said that happiness is in sharing and helping others.
I believe that is definitely true.
But I also believe it is only one kind of happiness, and there are many more forms of happiness to explore.

What makes you happy?

And the priest also gave out a little homework challenge to the youths of the congregation: do something this week to make your parents smile.

Sadly for our parish, he is going back to Africa to preach there. Although he has been here only for a short time, his homilies will be remembered by many. I pray that he will change lives and help many of those in need there at Africa.

God Bless him and all of you readers ✞

Tumblr

The Tumblr version of this blog is now up and running!

Sure, it somewhat contradicts my original statement of "I created this blog because Tumblr is all too mainstream now etc.", but it's all still the same material, just on another site.
It makes things easier to reblog, like, and spread, as Tumblr has a much larger and more active population than that of Blogger.

Don't worry, though, this is still the "headquarters" of my blog.

Visit it here (and follow!): everwandering-heart.tumblr.com

Journey onwards and immerse yourself.

Once Upon A Time...

There lived a young princess.

She had all the riches she could ever ask for.
She was kind-hearted and beautiful.
She had the most loyal, trustworthy friends in the world.
She and her family were very, very, very close.

Everybody thought she must have lived a very happy life.
Everybody but herself.
