My update today is going to be late this morning, at this rate! I’ve been up since 2:57 talking with Andi who was also up, writing an update on her, thanking 17 new donors on Go-Fund-Me, writing a complaint to Go-Fund-Me, and I have a to-do list of things I need to also get done as soon as I finish my daily FDL Update.
But the ideas are streaming through me and I have to choose between regular duties or we interrupt this broadcast.
I choose interrupting this broadcast.
Do you remember how we rescued that couple in 2012 after their house burned down? The readership, through the Hope Chest when it was functioning, raised a sum I can’t remember how much that allowed them to relocate and survive until emergency payments kicked in.
Or Stephen and Anthony in Australia, whose home was destroyed by a cyclone and they had to relocate and begin to build a new home?
Or the woman in New Orleans who was living out of her car? [She died recently. She was Judy Byington’s assistant.] Or the woman who needed hyperbaric treatment? Gawd, I can’t remember how many times you’ve saved someone in distress. And these remain some of the best and most inspiring moments of my life.
I’m not ending things with Andi as soon as she has permanent digs. Not till she has a viable source of income.
I say that Andi having told me that she is independent and resourceful and just hearing about her history of self-reliance from before arriving in the park. She already has “a worker” (who’s on vacation), is looking through rentals, and participating in getting Go-Fund-Me to release her funds, etc. She is definitely a go-getter.
Which is inspiring the life out of me.
I might ask you to observe something. Andi lives (not lives by) the divine qualities: Uncomplaining, self-reliant, self-starting, free of resentments, positive, etc. They are natural with her. Look at her face.
This is how the divine qualities behave in a life-changing situation.
Just keep a watch on this one. She’s a live wire. She is “demonstrating.”
What am I doing, asking you to read so much? I will stop now. (It’s hard.)
