Mending orphans shoes; A DL Christmas Miracle!
* Noble WF Online Student and former Broadway dancer, Diana Eden, has used DL and Appropriate Action
to help many orphans this holy-day season!
Dear Steve and Ananda
I don't know if you have been following the Shoe Goo story, but it is a
lovely one, truly appropriate for the season of giving, and all due to your
DL.
Initially I read the post from Scott Richardson about his work with the
orphans in Afghanistan, and we have been corresponding ever since.
On a chance, I googled the Shoe Goo company and wrote the company asking if
they would donate some shoe Goo to help mend the shoes of those in need.I
think the company is in Japan, but after a few emails from around the world,
the message below went out.
Thank you Bob C for your generosity and for hearing the call to action, for
organizing the sending of your product, and for your zebra sole idea !! :)
Thanks, Scott for caring about the kids. Thanks Steve for communicating good
things around the world on your website.
Love to all
Diana

Dear Scott: Today I mailed about 29 tubes of Shoe Goo from Placentia,
California. They were sent Priority Mail to APO AE, from which they will
be picked up by the military
There is a mixture of colors, approximately as follows:
Natural 7
Black 16
White 6
Just thinking, you could create a fashion for zebra striped soles.-}
Best wishes in you endeavors:-)
Cordially, BobC

Noble WF Online Student Eden;
�Activity is better than inertia. Act, but with self control. If you are lazy, you cannot even sustain your own body.
The world is imprisoned in its own activity, except when actions are performed as worship of God. Therefore you must perform every action sacramentally, and be free from all attachment to results.�
- Bhagavad Gita. Chapter 3
(Translation by Swami Prabhavanda and Christopher Isherwood, Barnes & Noble, 1995)

In your unasked yet Appropriate Action, Student Eden, you have exemplified the gift of giving as was forwarded to you by your Noble WF Teacher, Ananda. WF is in-deed a very powerful, worldwide Vehicle of the Giving Spirit. May many more of our DL Readers learn to �read between the Direct Lines,� as have you for the numerous avenues i leave open for willing WF Warriors to engage Appropriate Action.
On behalf of your WF Teacher Ananda, as well as the worldwide WF Tribe who �sweat to the tune of a different drummer,�
i bow to you
during this
Holy-Day
week!
