Week 49: Flyers Full of Feelings

Guys! I am almost caught up on writing my blog summaries; one more to make up and I'm back on track. 😅 And this and the next one are two of my favorites; so simple but I found them quite impactful. And I don't take the use of the word "quite" lightly. 😂 Keep reading and tell me if you agree...

I printed out a stack of flyers and posted them side-by-side in 10 different places around town: cafes, laundry mats, grocery store bulletin boards, etc. One asked people what they needed. The other asked what they would share. The options on both flyers were the same:

• Love
• Hope
• Understanding
• Faith
• Patience
• Courage
• Peace
• Freedom
• Passion
• Healing
• Strength
• Beauty

After two days I went back to a few of the spots to see if any action had been taken. 

And I shed tears at each location as I pictured people reading my signs and feeling the need for Strength, Peace, Hope, and Healing so deeply they tore the strip away. 

And the location where nothing was torn as needed but rather a willingness to share Love, Patience, Courage, Peace, and Passion in the world? Amazing!

I hope the strips of paper people took for what they need can help serve as a placeholder for those things until the real deal finds them. 

I hope the strips of paper people took for what they will give is kept as a daily reminder to give those gifts away. 

And I hope I live both lessons every day going forward: There is no weakness in taking stock of what you need and when you have something to share, give it away freely!!
