SPARK ⭕ Smiles when hope was lost

SPARK ⭕ Smiles when hope was lost

June 20, 2024

Hi! I am a cancer survivor, then divorce, among much more darkness. But I learned to find light throughout life's road. I learned the tools to not fall to the darkness. Yoga and meditation helped me with tools to be present and not allow monkey chatter and lies replace my truth. I want to bring these life tools to the kids in my community schools. They can't afford to hire me. They don't even have a counselor! I am trying to get my way into the university here as well ISU. I need to raise money somehow. Being a single mom I also need an income so not sure how to do this. I can keep working now and try to show them how important it is to have this life tool. If I could volunteer I would! When my ex left me after cancer, so did my income. I am trying to figure out a way to help others learn tools too. Make it through pain. The pain I felt I don't want anyone to go through alone. So this is my story and your seeds of happiness helped me. I handed them out on the oncology floor when I waited for chemo. They put smiles on faces that lost hope. Thank you!!!!!

SPARK ⭕ World on his shoulders

July 01, 2024

During COVID, my father lost his job. Thankfully, he is back to work now. I am only 25 years old and felt like I had the world on my shoulders taking care of my family. I was supporting my grandparents and father. Things are getting better slowly but the past few days have been tough on me emotionally. I have found myself in tears daily from both financial and health issues.

Today there was a ray of sunshine that came my way! I went in to see a patient and without even knowing I am going through a rough patch, she gave me a seed of happiness. She gave me one for myself and one to give.

As soon as she handed them to me, I wanted to burst into tears. It was like God was calling to me saying to be happy!

Everything will be ok. It really brought a smile to my face and I will use this seed to remind me to be happy because life is beautiful!

SPARK ⭕ Grief and Smiles

June 29, 2024

I asked my professor if I could miss class because my dog was being put down, I was 8 hours away so I didn't even get to say goodbye. She of course let me, and we shared one of our few hugs. Later she had my roommate drop off a seed of happiness.

I have kept it with me the last two years. 

Now, her husband was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. It has already spread to his brain and spine. Obviously not the same, but now I am right hours away from her.

Now I get to plant a seed of happiness. 

I grieve for her. I am so glad I got to see their amazing love for each other. Her unbreakable spirit is something to truly be inspired by.
