Day 9: Sunday 9th January, 2011
The Aussie Spirit is strong and alive!
I was so inspired tonight as I watched the Queensland Flood Victims Appeal with Sports and TV Celebrities who had given up their time and energy to help raise money for the people of Queensland who had been affected by the floods.
One of the things that makes me proud to be an Aussie, is the spirit of Australians to help a mate when they're going through a tough time. Between two AFL teams in Queensland they had committed to donate $500,000 and Virgin Blue had donated $250,000 with a further $1,000,000 expected during their week long appeal where they committed to giving $1 from every flight booked to the appeal.
So that's just the tip of the iceberg and I know that many Australians have dug deep to help their Aussie mates who are going through a tough time. Farmers, retailers and individuals have lost their homes, their livelihoods and some have lost family members. It was amazing to hear of children donating their Xmas money just to help out.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the many Queenslanders who have been affected by the floods. If you are able to help out, then most of the major banks including Westpac, Suncorp, NAB, ANZ, CBA are all taking donations.
Spent the evening talking with my hubby about our plans for 2011. It was great to sit down and talk about our goals and dreams for 2011. Some things we'd talked about and others we hadn't so was good to find out what was going on. It's amazing how a vision, or your goals are fuelled by discussing it and talking about it with others.
Do you have someone to discuss your dreams, goals and visions with....if you don't feel free to share them here! We'd love to believe with you to see them come to pass.
Hasta Manyana (until tomorrow).....Fabe
