When we think about change, we often feel uneasy and often think that change could mean something unknown, something that it might make us feel uncomfortable. However, change is the only guaranteed thing in our life and it comes always in an unexpected ways.
So let me tell you a story about people who are the change and continue to bring an amazing change
in their lives, communities, societies and the world.
Yesterday, I was thinking about my friend Lilyanne, and suddenly I dialed the phone to hear her voice.
The minute I spoke to her she told me that she was talking that minute about me to her friend Amber Chand, and so she puts Amber on the phone to introduce her to me. Amber asked me if I would be in NYC in the evening and if I knew a woman named Kayla. I jumped. Kayla! She is one of my best friends I said. Amber then thought that this was a divine moment of connecting people in the right time.
I went to Kayla's house last night to meet Amber and participate in the promotion of PROSPERITY CANDLE PROJECT.
There in my friend's apartment in the midst of noisy NYC, the room was filled with wonderful people whose hearts wanted to bring change to the world. This change was introduced by a candle that was lit by Kayla, and a prayer for success in life.
Prosperity Candle is an extraordinary opportunity to help empower women entrepreneurs in places like Haiti, Iraq, Rwanda, Afghanistan, Kosovo etc...
Can you imagine one candle not only brings light to the places where there is darkness, but becomes a tool for prosperity and survival of families.
One candle, a pair of hands, many women, many hands that turn around wishes, prayers, hopes to spread the message of peace.
Prosperity Candle was launched in September 2008, and has successfully completed a year long pilot program in Iraq in partnership with Women for Women International. They have provided 44 women entrepreneurs in Baghdad with opportunity to create a candle.
Each candle is a reflection of the resilience and courage of women who have survived inconceivable hardship and seek to create a better future for themselves, their families and communities.
Here we were, standing and talking with each other. A little flicker of light that was made by a woman in Iraq filled the room with spirit of HOPE. She was there among us reflecting in each other's eyes a question who we were, how do we want to make this world a better place.
Suddenly everyone was excited, imagine if each one of us buys a candle, how many children will eat a meal because that one candle becomes a bridge of crossing from darkness to light.
So now that we are here in the bountiful country with so many priviledges just before holidays, we have an opportunity to be a part of this flicker of light of HOPE.
