Love Notes Post Card Project ~ an invitation to you

The Love Notes Post Card Project is dear to my heart.  Each round that I have hosted it my heart has grown a little bigger.  It has been wonderful to see images of the postcards that are getting sent through the mail and hear the stories of people who connected because of the project.

The holiday season is filled with lots of hustle and bustle.  The Love Notes Post Card project invites you to slow down.  Take a moment to pause and reflect.  Provide a little bit of sunshine to someone who may be feeling overwhelmed with all that the holidays brings along with it.  You may need that bit of sunshine yourself.

So I invite you to join us as we send some Love through the mail.  To find out more about the project head on over to the

Love Notes site

or if you are already familiar with the project sign up

.  It is going to be good.

Love Notes Post Card Project ~ Won't you join us

The Love Notes Post Card Project is back and we want YOU to be a part of it.

Do you dread going to the mailbox because there is nothing exciting in there?  Do you want to receive something else besides bills and catalogues?  Would a hand written note from someone brighten your day?  If you answered YES to those questions then this project is for you.

How it works:

*  The Love Notes Post Card Project will run for three weeks ~ December 9th - December 23rd

*  Each week you will send out one postcard to a fellow love note participant who is assigned to you.  Don't worry, you will receive an email with a special writing prompt for each week so that you do not have to stare at the blank page unsure of what to write.

*  Then before the week ends simply drop your post card in the mail

It is as simple as that. Postcards were chosen for this project because of their small size and less intimidating amount of space to write in.  You can buy a postcard, make a postcard, or send a little notecard.

Your name will be given to a fellow Love Note participant who will be sending love notes your way. Unfortunately I cannot 100% guarantee they they will send out there postcards, but my hope in my heart is that they do.

During this busy holiday season it is nice to slow down for a moment.  The Love Notes Post Card project invites you pause, sink into the moment, and write words from the heart ~ on an actual piece of paper.  Words that will brighten someones day and spread sunshine to all those hands it passes through.  Won't you join us?

Head on over to

to sign up.  Please note if you participated in the last round of the Love Notes Postcard project you will have to sign up again to be a part of this series.  

staying on your path




In the midst of the chaos I want to carve out time.  A moment to sink my teeth deep into the ideas that blossom in my mind as I sit at my desk each day.  Upon their arrival I want to drop everything and begin.  But alas, I cannot.  The world in front of me has stolen my attention and I must respect that.  A notebook full of ideas never started.  Projects begun, but never finished.  Time slipping quickly.  A landfill of excuses of why I cannot accomplish these dreams piling up beside me.

Boundaries need to be set and strictly enforced.  "Office hours" for my creative endeavors must happen.  I need to say no more often, and stick to the plan.  Too easily I get enticed by friends and family to go out and play.  I need to have enough rest, and eat well.  Stay focused and push through.

It is so easy to say I do not have the time, but really the time is there.  Instead of letting thirty minutes of browsing the internet slip by, I need to pick up my own pieces of inspiration and begin.  I need to quit dilly dallying and letting that time disappear.

Bold here I am declaring that I am going to start getting serious.

How do you stay on your path?  How do you carve out that time and stick to it?

glistening in the sunlight

This is what I know to be true
Doors, windows, people, opportunity
All open up to us at the most unsuspecting time
Feeding our souls in a way we did not know it needed to be fed
Stirring up ideas
Opening hearts
Moving obstacles we thought we could never move
A path
A clear path for us to walk down
For us to experience and take in
Amazing things happen when we just
let
go
When we are open and see what falls before us
Things unravel
Each day by doing what we do best, living
We are doing the work
Writing the story
Having the conversation
We are weaving this fantastic life together
Our inner strengths glistening in the sunlight
Our world expanding
Life, our life in all of it's glory
