Many of you know, on the 25th of this month I am going with the @younglivingfoundation back to Nepal to help rebuild an elementary school that is still in rubble after the 2015 earthquakes.
(You can learn a bit more about my trip here: The fundraiser is finished but it has a bit of background and some photos from previous trips). These trips cost a lot of money and a big chunk of time away from my kids and husband but they fill me in a way that is hard to describe.
To say thank you to everyone who supports my business while I am gone allowing me to make this trip (yet again!) I want to bring you back a little bit of Nepal. Studies have shown that when you support small business owners, like me, you benefit the whole community.
In Nepal, Prayer Flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. Traditionally, they come in sets of five: one in each of five colors. The five colors are arranged from left to right in a specific order: blue, white, red, green, and yellow. The five colors represent the five elements:
💙Blue symbolizes the sky and space,
🖤White symbolizes the air and wind,
❤️Red symbolizes fire,
💚Green symbolizes water, and
💛Yellow symbolizes earth.
The Tibetans believe the prayers will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space. Therefore, prayer flags are thought to bring benefit to all (just like buying from small businesses!) and so… As a THANK YOU for your support, I will bring back a set of Prayer Flags for everyone in this group who places an order of 250PV+ or enrolls in ER, between now and Feb 6, then comments on this post with “I ❤️ Nepal”.
That’s 3 things to get your own set of Prayer Flags:
1) be in theGoodDrop Facebook group,
2) order 250PV+ or enroll in ER, AND then
3) comment on this post in the group with “I ❤️ Nepal”
Thank you so much for your support. It means so much to me. XOXO (and get ready for lots of photos!) (and if you are not in the FB group, email me directly and we can work something out!)
