About Me
I'm joining Service Space because ... in giving and sharing, I feel myself blossoming and loving life even more. Small acts of kindness is something we all can inspire in ourselves as well as in others. I'd like to do more and more of this.
A good day to me is when ... I can be adventurous - adventurous enough to give a stranger a helping hand or courageous enough to express my appreciation to a loved one.
My hero in life is ...Nelson Mandela
My favorite book is ...The Tibetan Book of the Dead - not so bleak altogether :)
One thing I'm grateful for is ... is this beautiful, unconditionally and relentlessly giving mother earth.
