PLEDGE 6 = Every Day is a Holiday

In my life, dads are a magical creation. From their terrible (I mean, awesome) dad jokes, to their contagious dad laughter, to their healing dad love ... dads are soul-defining. They are the foundation on which we build our life upon, whether they are an active part of our journey or not. In my ideal world, all our lives would be built on a foundation of pretty fuchsia and turquoise cement, sprinkled with beautiful glittery sparkles and regularly releasing bright and happy fireworks into the air.

Too much? But you get it, right? I love my dad.

My dad, my daddy, my tatuś, is my best friend and without him I wouldn't be who I am, or be where I am, or know how to use a power drill.

Dads, their love; their strength; their struggles ... is the reason I chose:


Pledge #6 : Every Day is a Holiday



The love that resonates off Theresa Loong and her dad, Paul Loong is not only beautiful, it's transformational. As I watched their Kickstarter video, I wanted to be right there with Theresa, having a coffee with her father, hearing his amazing stories and learning from his experiences and his wisdom. I wanted to make him laugh his gorgeous laugh. I wanted a hug. Or a high-five. I wanted a hug and a high-five.

I admire and revere stories from our past. There is a grace and a strength to them that moves me, and transports me back in time. There is so much to learn from what has been before, yet the majority of us are too busy forcing our way up and pushing our way forward. Theresa and Mr Loong reminded me of the importance to pause, and reflect. To remember, respect and honour our past.

Do check out Every Day is a Holiday.  A movie where "We discover why, despite much suffering, “Every Day Is a Holiday.”"

I think this is a beautiful project and I wish everyone involved all the very best.
