I wanted to take this opportunity before the busy holiday season to say Thank You.
I was struck today by this thought: not only has every action that I've ever taken brought me to where and who I am today, but also the actions of my parents, grandparents, and every being that has ever lived! How would my life be if Magellan hadn't taken that step onto Filipino soil (bringing one of my ancestors from Spain/Portugal to meet his future bride)? What would I be doing if I hadn't discovered my beloved voice teacher in Tel Aviv four years ago? What if that butterfly had never flapped its wings!
Every experience, no matter how tiny, has shaped the world and made the creation of me, Daniella, and you, YOU, possible. Each being has created this extraordinary world to be shared and enjoyed by all.
How beautiful is that!?!
So thank you to you, my dear friend. Even if our paths barely grazed each other, we changed each other's lives, always for the better.
I wish you a warm and loving holiday season to come and may you welcome in the new year in good health!
With love,
Daniella
