In the past years, I received this story several times through mail, the author seems to be Bob Perks. Here is an extract.
Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together. They had announced her departure and standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said, "I love you. I wish you enough." She in turn said, "Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Daddy."
They kissed and she left. He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say goodbye to someone knowing it would be forever?"
"Yes, I have," I replied. Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me.
So I knew what this man experiencing.
"Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever goodbye?" I asked.
"I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is, the next trip back would be for my funeral," he said.
"When you were saying goodbye I heard you say, "I wish you enough." May I ask what that means?"
He began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." He paused for a moment and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he smiled even more."When we said 'I wish you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them," he continued and then turning toward me he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory.
"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much
bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye."
He then began to sob and walked away.
And what about you ? Do YOU have enough ?

Well, it is a change from the Incredible Results of EFT, right ?
But then, think about it: the logic really is the same. First we have to listen to what Nature has in store for us: our energy system for EFT, and earth and its products for the Incredible Edible!
Then it is all about sharing: tap with others with EFT to receive, share, give away borrowed benefits, garden with others with the Incredible Edible and receive, share, give away seeds, the pleasure to watch a growing plant, and quality food where it might not necessarily be available.
A few years ago, I was living in an estate in Ireland, and gardening was not part of our neighbours' culture. There was one 5 years old boy specifically who was flabbergasted that we might put in our plates “things” that were growing in soil, such as parsley and thyme form ,y herb garden. His curiosity reached its top when I grew a courgette. I had very little space, so it was just one plant. He was so intrigued that he couldn't resist to checking what this growing long thing was. So one evening I came home to 2 pieces of courgettes. He had split it in two to check it out.
Why wouldn't we reintroduce a form of vegetable farming into cities, so these curious city kids get answers in a clever way? This initiative started in Todmorden, England gathers “passionate people working together for a world where all share responsibility for the future wellbeing of our planet and ourselves.
We aim to provide access to good local food for all, through
• working together
• learning – from field to classroom to kitchen
• supporting local business”
This “utopia” Is spreading fast in the world, practically, and efficiently. Even local policemen seem quite happy with their new edible landscape!

where it stayed perfectly closed for about 6 months (thanks to a very patient library that allowed me to attain such an achievement!!)
I was quite afraid... to read it. Don't ask why, we're not talking logic of the mind here, but logic of the feelings.
Until one day, I had to face it. A book would not bite me. And even if nobody knew it, it wouldn't look very good (to me) to give the book back without even opening it. And in fairness, the library started to be demanding about the book, as you would expect. Once I opened it, I read it cover to cover and loved it.
I liked that it was straight to the point. Yes, I am afraid (for example, about opening certain book!). May the first person who never had a fear that they later acknowledged as unfounded and stupid, judge me!
Here is an exercise for you (only if you feel like it, of course). Draw 3 columns on a piece of paper. On the left, list a few fears, as precise as possible. In the middle, list the worst that can happen. On the right, list the best that can happen. Here you go, you have a nice list of tapable issues, and you're ready to use Tip-to-tap #6!
Everybody feels fear at some stage. I remember when I was working in the corporate world, hearing about a very serious, esteemed, supposedly solid financial director, who fainted just as he was about to address a committee. If that was not fear, what timing... In Hélène's case, fear was ruling her life.
So about Susan Jeffers, I then registered for her newsletter. I enjoyed her common-sense, her lively stories, her generosity, that transpired in so many small stories, her tips, affirmations etc..
Susan passed away last year. She left behind a whole infrastructure of teachers following her discoveries and quite a few books. Even though I didn't read them all, I trust that you'd enjoy every one of them. She has been a very good source of inspirations, which would well help you identify what frightens you, so what you could tap on...
So, what are you afraid of?

These experiences are very different, both by the scale of the disasters involved and by the action they triggered. But I find them both as beautiful in that they brought the best out of these children who are themselves in need, and hopefully out of us.
The first one is in France. Back in June 2013, flash floodings destroyed many villages, people lost their houses, and even when the houses are still there, the cleaning work is impossible to imagine. Groups of teenagers, from Scouts groups to “difficult suburbs” groups, are helping to clean this up. As one recipient of the help comments “I would never had believed this from young people, I expected help from 30-40 year old people.” and another says “To give then you are in need yourself, it's already a lot”.
If you want to know more, click on the pictures for a couple of examples (sorry, French speaking only! The only English speaking pages I found about the event where about evacuating Lourdes or people being killed by the storms. Either I didn't look hard enough, or it says something about which information spreads the most...)
The second example involves one of these lovely unexpected side effects of EFT. You might already have heard of Dr Lori Leyden, who has initiated an amazing healing project in Rwanda (projectLIGHTrwanda.com), helping genocide orphans, not only to recover from the many traumas they lived through or witnessed, but also to rebuild their country by running their owns lives and create businesses. The whole program relies on “ambassadors”. They are survivors who healed, and became teachers, teaching EFT, community building and creating and running businesses. That in itself is amazing of course, but here is the unexpected side effect.
In December 2012, the killing in an school in Newton Connecticut USA also left very deep scars. JT was 11 when his younger brother was killed. Understandably, he didn't want to go back to school for many months. Tapping helped of course, but it wasn't enough. Dr Leyden, who is involved in supporting that healing process too, got the brilliant idea to set up a skype call between project Light Ambassadors and JT. They talked, tapped of course, and that was what JT needed. He went back to school the next day. But it doesn't stop there... In return, he found his own way to thank them, collecting enough money to send one of the ambassadors to university. You can learn more there.
My take from this is that we can look at disasters and despair, or we can use them as “opportunities” to heal, heal the people who are directly touched, heal us, heal others. What is YOUR take on this?
