The most wonderful thing just happened at The Reference Point and it is too important not to share! An anonymous client left us some cash and the message that God instructed them to donate cash to us, for us to create gift certificates for use at The Reference point, and for us to raffle them off at no charge in our free lectures. This incredible client donated money to be made into gift certificates so others could experience healing at zero cost to them. I am blown away – immediately I welled with tears at the selflessness of this unknown person! And I am honored that this client thinks enough of us to want to provide our service to others that are suffering!
We now have created a name for this anonymous client: The pay it forward benefactor!
Wow…this gesture really inspires me to wonder if each of us consciously did something anonymously wonderful each week…what would the impact be on society? It doesn’t have to be a financial donation – it can be a donation of time, a good word you put in for a worthy person, leave needed clothing on the porch of a poverty stricken neighbor (most of us have clothes we could donate), etc. Those of you that have known me for a long time remember my assistant Elizabeth (she worked with me for 10 years before romping off to start her own wonderful healing career), she had a perfect example of paying it forward that she would do quite often – whenever she went through a bridge toll booth, she would pay for herself and the car behind her. What a great random act of kindness! What would it make you feel if you pulled up to a toll booth and the attendant told you that the car in front of you had already paid your toll? Wouldn’t that put a HUGE smile on your face???
If each of us received random acts of kindness every now and then wouldn’t it make us all feel more connected, more loving toward others, and less likely to be harmful to another person because we remember how kind strangers can be – as well as those we already know?
So I invite all of you that “can hear me” to continue what our wonderful anonymous client started – PAY IT FORWARD…practice random acts of kindness and choose to be part of the solution…not part of the ugly, icky problem we see all around us!!!
Blessings,
Anankha
