Dear Ones —
My friend Priya in Texas sends out an email blessing every day to friends around the world, and sometimes I share them here, when I think they are particularly lovely. This one came in yesterday, and really resonated with me:
"Only trust someone who can see these three things in you:
The Sorrow behind your smile,
The Love behind your anger,
and the Reason behind your silence."
If anyone happens to know the author of these words, I would love to find out!
All blessings,
Liz

dear Liz, just today – it's 1 am – I found the courage that I needed. to write to you. to make a jar of happiness. to put the first two notes inside. to tell you how much I love your book. with a lot of gratitude, from another side of world, Romania. thank you!
(I'm such a pesimist and I think that I wouldn't be able to find a good and nice think to write everyday but maybe I will be happy if in a week it will be a new piece of paper there, in the jar. it will be much for me. and I need to try.)

MY HERO: Ibu Robin Lim —
Dear friends —
You won't regret taking five minutes to watch this beautiful film, made in Bali, about one of the most extraordinary women I've ever met — my friend the midwife Robin Lim (whom CNN recently named Hero of the Year.) The birth center that she runs is right down the road from where I used to live in Bali, and she is so beloved in that community — as she has brought, with gentleness and strength, so many healthy babies into the world who might have died (or whose mothers might have died) otherwise.
I'm in this film, too, talking about my admiration for Robin. You'll see me walking through the village with Robin — and also sitting with her in the birth clinic, holding a baby who is about twenty minutes old (the tiniest little human being this professional auntie had ever met!)
Women's health is a lifelong passion for me. Anyone who fights for women is a saint to me. I care more about women's wellbeing than any cause on earth. Robin Lim is a tireless magician, who has been able (on the tiniest of budgets) to become a world leader in midwifery and natural childbirth. I adore her and revere her. So watch this movie, and you'll see why she is worth revering.
And if you want to donate to her foundation (I assure you every dollar will be most carefully spent) you may go right here:
https://www.bumisehatfoundation.org/
And if you ever are lucky enough to visit Bali, do go to Ubud and visit Robin's clinic! Offer to do some volunteer work — there will always be something for you to do! Bring her money, bring her baby blankets, bring her baby clothes, bring whatever you can. You won't regret it!
Peace, Liz

Margi's HAPPINESS JAR! (Scented with honey, appropriately enough…)

Here it is, my honey scented Happiness Jar 🙂
As a friend suggested, I'm trying to learn how to stop always saying "sorry" and start saying "thank you"..This is my turning point, I'm on my way for a fresh start and all these moments of joy will come with me wherever I will go.
Thank you Liz for this wonderful idea ♥
