Who Am I?
Hi there, I'm Manuja Ranasinghe. Thank you for visiting my blog.
Toastmasters made me realize that we are a sum of all the stories we have told. All of us tell stories about ourselves. Stories define us, and they deserve to be told well with absolute clarity. This is how we become who we truly want to be. Some of us allow others to tell our stories, and we manifest their creation within us.
The journey of storytelling gave me the courage to reach for my purpose. It also affirmed that I have the potential to impact the world.
I write so I can shape my purpose and uplift others.
I speak so I can empower myself and others.
I read to so I can empower myself and others.
I work for joy and true fulfillment, for something bigger than myself. So is it ok to call it work :) ?
I exercise so I can eat, a lot.
I was born and raised in Sri Lanka for 21 years. Then I went to school in the United States of America, got the ed credentials, found my hottie…I mean my soulmate, have two children, and well, everything is history and the future. I’m unbelievably fortunate.
I earned degrees in Finance and Economics. But now I wish I had earned a degree in Math instead of Finance. Because numbers reveal.
I'm also Platelet and Plasma donor. Do you know a single cancer patient may need over 100 units of platelets throughout their treatment? A platelet transfusion is a chance for the patient to enjoy a holiday, activities, or time with family. Think about that for a moment. You have the power. I ask you to donate once a month.
I also mentor children. Because,
" I believe the children are our are future, Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside, Give them a sense of pride to make it easier..."
There are twenty two "I"s in the above short paragraphs. In reality, a team has a lot of "I"s. That's my excuse!
I encourage you to connect with me!
Pursue your Passion. Be Smart. Read. Exercise. Create. Build. Help.
Don’t have a cow…just walk with me on this journey.
