you matter

/

In this very moment
Reach out to someone you love
Let them know how much they mean to you
Hold there hand
Give them a hug
Be right there with them
Soak each other in

Know that you are deeply loved
The world needs to see your sparkle and your shine
You provide light to everyone around you
You are a guide for others
You are needed here in this world
And you matter
You are beautiful

Believe in yourself
Believe in who you are
Know that you possess the power to make positive change
You bring smiles to peoples faces
And laughter deep into others hearts
You showing up each day
Is important, so very important

Celebrate each other
Give thanks
High fives
Show gratitude
Laugh
Have fun
Enjoy this extremely precious life



Love Notes Special Request

/

My heart goes out to all of those affected by the terrible tragedy that occurred in Newtown Connecticut.   I have not seen any news coverage of the event.  I have not wanted to.  Just hearing what happened was heartbreak enough.  It is terrible that a place we think our children are safe turned into a nightmare of terrors.

In moments like this we want to do something.  Reach out.  Help in any way we can.  And although there is nothing we can do to bring back the innocent lives that were lost we can reach out and let others know that they are not alone.  Let them know that we are standing along side them in their heartbreak.

Love Notes is about sharing words of Love through the mail.  And in a tragic time like this those words are needed.

The United States Postal Service has set up a Post Office Box for the public to send its condolences to Newtown.  If you feel inclined to share some Love I know the town would appreciate it.

You can send your cards and letters to

P.O. Box 3700

Newtown, CT 06470

Round 3 of Love Notes began today and I am in awe of all the international participants.  When I stumbled over my blog stats and saw that people from places like the United Kingdom, Australia, and Czech Republic were visiting the Love Notes page I thought maybe it was just some technological mix up.  But it appears that it may actually be true.

This round of Love Notes we have individuals participating from: USA, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Norway, Serbia, Scotland, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.

AMAZING!  I am blown away.  I love how the internet has pulled us all together and how we will be sharing our handwriting, words from our heart, and a tangible piece of paper across oceans and to different countries.  So incredibly amazing!

I am so excited for this round of Love Notes and look forward to all that will unfold.  Thank you to all the participants.  Its going to be good, so good.
