💚 Veggie World Expo 💚
上週五很榮幸代表我就職的公益營養學組織NutritionFacts.org到上海的國際植物基博覽會分享,和觀眾分享全食物蔬食對健康的益處。
一開始我先邀請在場觀眾進行「check-in」的過程,找一個他們不認識的人,自我介紹,然後分享為何自己關注健康。接著我分享了我個人關注健康的原因:從小到大,家中有太多長輩因為慢性病而過世。從乳癌、淋巴癌、胰臟癌、心臟病、中風到腎臟病......雖然我幫不了他們,但現在我卻可以幫助其他人的家庭不要經受我家人經受的痛苦。接著,我介紹了我們組織,播放了葛雷格醫師的兩個影片,最後再教大家使用「每日12清單」將健康的食物包括到每日的飲食當中。
這次的活動對我來說有幾個亮點:
1) 有五位我的好朋友來支持我,雖然其中三位聽不懂中文,根本不知道我在講什麼。❤️
2) 有些觀眾告訴我,這是他們第一次發現自己的飲食有多麼不健康,接下來也想要做出改變。💪
3) 許多人跟我說他們很喜歡這樣互動性的分享模式,而不是講者在台上單方面講話。事實上,我自己以前是經營個人成長學校、主持工作坊出身的,非常在意互動性這件事情,個人也完全受不了那種ppt充滿文字、台上滔滔不絕、台下是誰在聽都無所謂的活動。所以放心,不管我主持什麼分享會或活動,都會是高互動性的。😉
4) 最後這個反饋實在讓我哭笑不得......有個女生很驚訝也很感動跟我說「哇,你的中文好好呀!」 🤨😓😂
我很感激能有機會做有意義的工作,為自己和他人的福祉做出貢獻。同時,在全球還疫情蔓延、許多人還困在家裡的情況下,能夠有這樣的活動、享受人與人之間面對面的連結,是多麼得來不易的機會。有時候我確實會對人性、對世界失望,但類似這樣的感動瞬間,是提醒我繼續走下去的動力。🌱

Last Friday I had the honor of presenting on behalf of NutritionFacts.org at Veggie World Shanghai, sharing about the health benefits of a whole food plant-based diet. During check-in, participants were invited to find a partner they didn’t already know, introduce themselves, and share why the topic of health is important for them. Then I shared my personal reason for caring about the topic - I’ve lost too many family members to chronic diseases. Breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma, stroke, heart disease, kidney disease...you name it. Growing up, I couldn’t really help my grandma, uncles and aunts while they suffered. But now I can help others and their loved ones to not go through what I’ve been through. Later, I introduced our organization, played two of Dr. Greger's videos, and invited everyone to practice using his Daily Dozen checklist to incorporate more healthy foods into their diet.
There were a few highlights for me: 1) Five friends of mine came to support me, even though three of them wouldn’t really understand what I was talking about. ❤️ 2) Some participants told me that it was the first time they realized how unhealthy their diet has been, and they’d like to change that. 💪 3) Many people told me they appreciated the interactive process, that it was more than just a presentation where the audience sits and listens. Well, I’m a host/facilitator who personally can’t stand presentations with busy ppt slides...so whatever I host is always going to be participatory! 😉 4) And here comes the best comment...”Wow, your Chinese is sooo good!” Not sure how to respond to that. Thanks...? 🤨😓😂
I’m very grateful for the opportunity to do meaningful work, contribute to the well-being of others and myself, and enjoy human connection, especially during a global pandemic where so many are still isolated at home. Sometimes I do lose hope in humanity and the state of the world. But it’s moments like this that touch my heart and remind me to keep going. 🌱
.
Love you Andrea, Dawn, Lily, Mariana and Narayan ❤️

“Let him cry”
What Love means to a 4-8 year old
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, ’What does love mean?’ The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined
See what you think:
‘When my grandmother got arthritis , she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore.. So my grandfather does it for her all the time , even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.’ – Rebecca, age 8
‘When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.’ – Billy, age 4
‘Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.’ – Karl, age 5
‘Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.’ –Chrissy, age 6
‘Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.’ -Terri, age 4
‘Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him , to make sure the taste is OK.’ – Danny, age 7
‘Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing , you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that.
They look gross when they kiss’ – Emily, age 8
‘Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents
and listen.’ –Bobby, age 7
‘If you want to learn to love better , you should start with a friend who you hate” –Nikka, age 6
‘Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt , then he wears it everyday..’ –Noelle, age 7
‘Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.’ –Tommy, age 6
‘During my piano recital , I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn’t scared anymore.’ – Cindy, age 8
‘My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don’t see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.’ –Clare, age 6
‘Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.’ –Elaine, age 5
‘Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.’ –Chris, age 7
‘Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.’ -Mary Ann, age 4
‘I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.’ –Lauren, age 4
‘When you love somebody , your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.’ - Karen, age 7
‘Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn’t think it’s gross..’ –Mark, age 6
‘You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.’ –Jessica, age 8
And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, ‘Nothing , I just helped him cry’.
(So now, what love means to you? May you post your own answers here? If you have a kid, ask him/her and post his/her answer here too. Thanks!)
