His personal challenge was to write one good thing that had happened every day in what, he says, was a naive hope that if he could put up something positive, perhaps more positive things would come his way.He treated his posts like little breaths.“While these stories are deeply personal, they&#x27;re not about me. Everybody has a favorite food, an odd habit, sometimes a pet, sometimes a significant other. Everyone goes through some form of love, loss, catharsis, self-realization -- these are general human milestones we all experience. And when we focus on a human experience, it&#x27;s like taking a breath of fresh air,&quot; Villalon muses.While his prose and poetry are available to read for free on his <a href="https://www.facebook.com/1goodthingaday">Facebook page</a>, Villalon eventually gave in to his followers’ clamor to collate the posts into a book. “One Good Thing A Day” is a compilation of his 2017 posts. This was his way to help readers find their own meaning in the madness of the world. On a more practical note, all proceeds from the sales will go through proper channels to help COVID-19 relief operations in the Philippines.“One Good Thing A Day” is available as an e-book on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F2RGGVQ">Amazon</a> or in PDF format on <a href="https://gumroad.com/l/ZRFwf">Gumroad</a> for P180.
