Setting LOVE in Motion

LOVE IT FORWARD

LOVE IT FORWARD is a movement to set Love in Motion. When more people feel loved, able to give love, the world will be a lovelier and more peaceful place.

LOVE IT FORWARD - the spread of love like a ripple that radiates outwards - is a concept and a way of thinking, because LOVE is such a beautiful thing with such tremendous power, yet many of us tend to either forget or don't know how to express LOVE.

TO LOVE seems so simple a thing to do, yet it seems to be a difficult action to undertake. Especially for us Asians, we generally tend to be more reserved in expressing LOVE, and openly communicating our LOVE to our family members and loved ones. It is not unusual for family problems to be caused by the lack of showing of LOVE, and therefore lack of feeling of LOVE. It's an irony that while many desire so much to be loved, they are so afraid to give love.

LOVE IT FORWARD is a calling and is initiated by four friends who share a common belief in:

1. The power of LOVE.
2. That everyone is being deeply LOVED by someone.
3. That everyone is worthy of being LOVED by someone.

Our mission is to set LOVE into MOTION.

We shall take the first step towards advocating LOVE IT FORWARD so that not only our own family members but friends and people around us would experience the magical touch and warmth of LOVE. When more people are reminded of and feel the LOVE in daily lives, we are certain that it will have a catalytic effect in bringing about greater joy, peace and happiness to our world today.

On the first Sunday of every month, our families and us will lead the spreading of LOVE along Orchard Road in Singapore and our message is a simple one: to remind everyone that he/she is being deeply LOVED and that he/she could go out and express LOVE to their loved ones.

Our humble target is to be able to inspire 300 people in 3 months (by Feb 2008) to join us in doing the LOVE IT FORWARD exercise every first Sunday of the month at the same time but in different parts of Singapore.

We welcome anyone who shares our ideal to join us in LOVE IT FORWARD and help set the magical power of LOVE into motion. For friends outside of Singapore, we invite you to join us in spirit and action, and do keep in touch with us through this website.

Love It Forward - 把爱传出去, 是一个理念, 一种想法. 因为, “爱”, 对我们而言, 是那么美妙, 是那么有力量, 但人们却往往忘记或不懂如何去表达”爱”.

“爱”看似简单, 却又好像是很难的行为. 尤其, 我们东方人, 总是对爱的表达比较生涩, 不敢表达我们对家人的爱, 有时甚至因此而伤害了我们的家人. 进而导至许多家庭问题, 而我们内心却是渴望着爱, 但又不敢付出爱.

Love It Forward, 是一个使命, 是由四个普通的人, 四个有共同理念的人- 我们的理念:

1. 相信爱的力量
2. 相信每一个人都是深深被爱着的
3. 相信每一个人都是值得被爱

我们的使命: 把”爱”付出行动

因此, 我们愿意踏出第一步, 由我们自己开始, 提倡 Love it forward, 不仅对我们的家人,也进而对外所有人. 让所有我们可以接触到的人感受到爱, 感受到那份温暖.

我们将会在每一月的第一个礼拜天, 由我们四个家庭开始, 我们会在新加坡乌节路上, 散播我们的爱, 让每一个人都知道, 他们是深深被爱着的.

我们的目标: 希望在3个月後, 我们可以发动300个人在全新加坡同一个时间, 不同地点一起把爱传出去.

欢迎所有志同道合的朋友, 一起加入我们的行列, 让我们一起把爱传出去. 海外的朋友, 也希望您与我们共襄盛举. 您可以透过我们的网站与我们联络.

Letter from Josephine (to all associates)

Dear Friends,

Hello! It’s me, Josephine! As the leader of Avita, Scent’al Group, this is the first time I am writing to all of you. Previously, I always communicate directly with my first or second generation leaders, and not directly with everyone.

The main purpose of writing this letter is to pen down my thoughts and feelings which I have held on to over the years. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone, for the past years’ support and mutual encouragement. There are many memories which live on vividly in my mind; like the times when we traveled abroad together to expand our networks; conducted education and training; and then shopping. In Singapore , we planned for our futures together whilst developing our networks. We have shared many happy moments, endured some challenging ones, shed tears together, experienced joy and success collectively. Images of each of these times flash endlessly in my mind and my heart. In the past few years, I have been bestowed with so many fond memories of times spent with all of you. I really cherish them with all my heart.

In migrating from an old company to a new one, after all the waiting, hoping and your patient support, we finally have a better stage for us to perform on. Here, I would like to thank everyone for your support and belief.

As for the new associates, I wholeheartedly welcome you into our Scent’al Group family. Let us give ourselves the opportunity to learn from each other, grow and share. This is a special gift of fate - because of you, my life has become more colourful! Let us bring Scent’al to greater heights!

Scent’al, in the coming months, will focus on promoting LOHAS lifestyle. LOHAS - Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability, promotes a healthy lifestyle, not just for our families and ourselves, but even more so for the protection of our environment. Health refers to healthy diet, living, emotional and spiritual exploration and personal development. All because we believe that everyone is important.

We will be sending out a monthly E-Newsletter to keep in touch with you, to continuously provide you with health related information, as well as keeping you informed of any special promotions.

I am very happy to have this opportunity to be of service to you, and hope that you can give us any suggestions which can help us to improve. Please forward your suggestions to my email.

If you do not wish to receive my E-Newsletter, please let me know and I will remove you from my mailing list. If you know of any of your associate whom would like to receive my E-Newsletter but are not on my mailing list, please forward me their names and email addresses. Thank you so much!

Scent’al Value: Do Good! Feel Good! Live Good!

Best wishes

亲爱的朋友,

你好! 是我, Josephine! Avita, Scent’al Group 的领导人, 这是我第一次写信给大家. 以往, 我都是直接与我的第一代或第二代领袖沟通, 没有直接与大夥联系.

写这封信, 最主要的原因是, 一直以来我有很多想法及感触, 因此, 提起笔写了这封信. 首先, 我想藉由这封信来表达我对大家的谢意. 感谢在过去这几年来大夥的守护, 互相扶持. 许多的记忆, 都深深的牢记在我心中, 例如, 我们一起出国, 开发团队, 做教育, 然后, Shopping. 在新加坡, 我们一起计划未来, 发展组织, 我们共同经历许多欢乐, 汗水, 泪水, 喜悦及成功. 这一幕幕都不断地浮现在我的心中. 历历在目. 这几年来, 我拥有了太多与大家美好的回忆. 我真的好珍惜这份回忆.

当我们由旧公司到新公司, 这一路来的等待, 期望, 你们无言的行动支持, 终於我们有了一个更好的舞台, 来让我们发挥, 在此, 我要谢谢大家对我的支持与相信.

而对于新夥伴, 我以十万分热情欢迎您加入我们 Scent’al Group 团队. 让我们有机会互相学习, 成长, 分享. 这是一份得来不易的缘分, 因为有您, 增添了我生命的色彩. 让 Scent’al 更上一层楼.

Scent’al 在未来的日子, 除了不断带领着大家, 也会致力于提倡 LOHAS (乐活) 的生活形态. LOHAS - Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability, 意为健康的生活形态, 除了对自己及家人更推广于环境的维护. 其中的 Health 是指”健康的饮食, 生活, 身心灵的探索与个人成长. 因为我们相信每一个人都是重要的.

我们会于每个月寄出 E-Newsletter, 与您保持联络, 除了不断提供有关健康讯息给您, 也会定期通知您任何促销.

很高兴能有这个机会为您服务, 也希望您提供任何能让我们做的更好的意见. 您可以将您的建议传至我 email.

如果您不希望收到任何信息及服务, 也请您回件通知. 有许多朋友並没有填清楚 email, 如果他们也想收到讯息,您也可以告知我, 我会将他们列入 email list. 谢谢!

Scent’al value: Do Good! Feel Good! Live Good!

永远的祝福,
Josephine Chang 张钟文
