Being of service fills your heart

Words SONYA DRIVER

To me personally, GIVING IS BETTER.

It’s a spiritual law. I didn’t make it but I’m certainly grateful I understand it. The more you give, the more your world and everything in it expands. Besides, nothing is as fulfilling as helping others. Nothing.

THIS IS WHAT I KNOW. WE CAN ALL DO SOMETHING.

A simple act of giving can make someone’s world seem a little brighter. A flower left at someone’s front door, a note left on a car or a coffee paid forward will bring you joy.

I am extremely passionate about lifting up others. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the joy it brings. Helping raise others up is my craving. It fuels me. Every day I ask God to show me who to help today.

I would say one of my greatest gifts is having the ability to read people. I can sense when someone needs help and am drawn to it. My intuition is so strong.

Acts of Service is one of my favourite love languages. I donated all my wedding gifts to a domestic violence charity. I am always giving things away. If I can contribute to someone’s life to make it easier for them or better, it’s the least I can do. My passion is to empower all living beings. Whether it’s paying for a rescue dog to have surgery or donating money to keep a domestic violence sanctuary open, travelling to Romania to help house a family or providing a house and schooling for a family in India. My love for helping others runs deep and often.

I try to share this gift with my daughters, who are both kind souls. I see a lot of it in them already. For example, there was an elderly lady living down the street who loved hot chips, so one day my daughters took her some. She was very grateful.

I guess it’s what makes me a philanthropist. My intuition is very strong, and I love seeing the change in people!
