Отрывок из книги

Walk by faith and not by sight. Write your own story. Follow your dreams.

Lia Ocampo shared with me these words to live by as we continued to talk about the many other inspiring lines written as watermarks on her “vision board” in her tiny Florida apartment.

.....

For more than 25 years now, Lia and I shared many life stories. We had the common ground of serving the United States Embassy Filipino Employees Association, our personal advocacy to promote literacy and leadership development among the youth, and same passion for books and travel. We are taking the same pathway with a stronger resolve to enjoy womanhood in our golden years and live a more meaningful life in general.

Lia’s passion to go beyond one’s comfort zone and taking the risks is truly inspiring and worthy of emulation. When we share personal stories and breakthroughs, they can help create a bridge for another person to cross. Lia created that bridge in her vision book project when she encouraged her peers and former work colleagues to share their personal breakthroughs as immigrants in America. Lia’s indefatigable character built a strong personal foundation in order to live a meaningful life and become an inspiration for others.
