Share the love...

I recently wrote an entry about lossing my inspiration.. well, it came back. I stopped trying and let life in, and it really worked. Lately, I have been getting a lot of encouragement from people who love me, but also from people I have never met before. In the last two days I have received e-mails, facebook messages...etc from people I don't even know. How inspiring is that? When they contact me they usually tell me that I have impacted their lives in a special way.. and that they found motivation or inspiration in reading my blog. Some of those people live thousands and thousands miles away. Simply put, I am really happy and thankful. I wanted to share the love, and remind you all that you can make someone's day. Making someone happy can be so easy.. most people need encouragement, because most of us don't get enough of it. WE ALL NEED LOVE!

My friend Marissa Geer started the MHOYW campaign.. it's really interesting and I find it to be very inspiring.. It's about sharing the love and making sure people know that someone out there cares about them..

This is how it works in Marissa's Words...

You make a bracelet – doesn’t matter if you’ve already worn it or it’s brand new or even better, made from you. You then eventually give it to someone else in your life, telling them that you care about them and appreciate them in it.

This special person can be your mother, your father, your best friend, your favorite teacher... Or even a complete stranger.
The only rule is...
They are encouraged wholeheartedly to give that bracelet to someone else that they care about, or has made an impact on their life.

So this bracelet is getting passed along, maybe even around the world, from friend to friend, or stranger to stranger.

The thought is simple:
1) don't hold onto the material (letting go and passing on the bracelet) - hold onto the thought that someone cares about you.
2) show people you care about them as well (giving a bracelet) – when you make someone else's day, it makes your day. When you help someone through something, it helps you become a better person. People will remember in their hearts that one time you made life a little more beautiful for them.

Don't forget to share the love...
