Shopping for Baby/Toddler's Products for a Good Cause

Dear Friends,

If you are shopping for baby/toddlers' products, esp. those exclusive from US, pls consider supporting little2belle shop as they have a wide range of product available.

The owner of this shop is clearing her stock at very attractive prices to raise money to pay off her daughter's hefty medical bills. Her 4 year old girl is suffering from a rare blood disorder and needs daily injection, blood test every 2 days and weekly specialist follow up. All these treatment is taking a heavy toil not just pyschologically but also financially. Let's give her family some support and encouragment in this very difficult phase of their life, shall we?

More info on the products available can be found here:

Thank you all for your kindness and have a great week ahead !

Some P.A.R.K. Moments to Share

Being Able to Work is a Blessing !

While we dread going to work everyday, we sometimes forget that it is a blessing to be able to go work everyday. Firstly, we have a job that provides us with income to buy things for ourselves and our loved ones but most importantly, we have something that money cant buy, a healthy body to do the things we want to do. Happiness is all about perspectives, looking from another angle may just make your life happier and fulfilling 

Let Kindness Empower You !

To wake up everyday, knowing that you can make a positive difference in this world, to help someone, to make someone's day better, is an empowering feeling! I believe all of us can feel this way, if we start giving acts of random kindness, one at a time. Don't need to worry about what we should do or have a checklist on the things to do, just relax and be ready to give. Opportunities will present themselves to you, it is that amazing !

Show Your Child How to Be Kind

All my life, I have enjoyed helping others, it is my way of gaining happiness for myself, when I give happiness to others. Way before the kindness project, I was always happy to share my summary notes and help my friends in their studies. I have wondered what or who inspired me to be passionate about helping others and giving kindness. 

I think a lot of the influence come from my parents. They have not for once told me that I should be kind and help others whenever possible, they simply lead by example. My dad got to drive his company lorry home back then and whenever there was an extended family gathering, he would volunteer to send many of our relatives home, even if they didn't really stay close to one another. We were usually the last family to reach home. My mum is ever willing to help her friends or anyone in need and at present day is still helping some poor elderly pay their medical bills and donating clothes to needy families.

I like to advise my dear friends here because I know many of you are parents, that the influence you have on your child is paramount. If you teach your child to be positive, happy and kind, he/ she will most likely grow up to be a positive, happy and kind adult. If you show your child that we need to fight for the best things in life for ourselves and not care much about others, there is high chance he/ she may grow up to be negative, self-centered and unhappy.

Therefore, I encourage you to show your child what is it like to lead a positive and meaningful life filled with happy memories of bringing joy to others. In time to come, your son or daughter will appreciate what you taught them and be proud of you as their parents. Cheers
