one year anniversary

A year ago I sat next to him spilling my heart out
I want to connect with people, I want to do something that will bring others together
I want to create a community, see people smile

I had no idea what this looked like, but he sat there and listened
I bounced ideas off of him
My love for writing, receiving real mail, my collection of postcards from every place I travel

Slowly it all wove itself into a project
Strangers coming together to send mail to one another
Real mail, you know the kind that actually travels through the post office

Individuals showing up with pen in hand and spilling their heart on the page
And then sharing these words with someone they may not know
Connections blooming from a simple post card

I knew I wanted to make it easy
Something any one could do
And with all that the Love notes Post Card Project was born

A year ago I launched the very first round and had no idea what to expect
Would people sign up?
Would this actually work?

My goodness I was blown away
People did actually sign up, from all over the world in fact
My heart burst open

It has been such a pleasure to host this project
To watch it unfold and evolve
And to see the connections and friendships that have formed

I am grateful for each individual who has taken the leap and been a part of it
Who so willingly put their heart on the paper and shared it with the world
It is a true blessing

The world could always use more sunshine and smiles
And together we are doing that
One post card at a time

As you walk this journey through life

Breathe deeply

Your lungs will expand

Your heart will fill with joy

You will see through new eyes

The beauty that surrounds you

Slow down

Settle into your pace

Do not rush at someone eles's pace

Find your rythm

Listen to the sound of your breathe

Seek out the words that are calling you



Love Notes Post Card Project :: won't YOU join us?

It was a year ago that I hosted the very first Love Notes Post Card project. When I started this project I had no idea the journey it would take me on and I am so grateful to be getting ready for another fantastic round.   We would love for YOU to be a part of it.  Head on over to HERE to sign up!

The Love Notes Post Card project gives you the opportunity to send and receive mail, real mail.  When was the last time you opened your mailbox and was delighted by what was inside?  The Post Card Project changes that by matching you up with someone for three weeks of postcard writing and sending fun.

How it works:
The Love Notes Post Card Project will run for three weeks :: June 16th - July 6th.
*  Each Sunday you will receive a writing prompt delivered to your inbox
*  Take time to respond to the writing prompt on a post card
*  Before the week ends drop your post card in the mail for your fellow love note participant who you are paired up with, and be surprised the day a post card arrives for you

It is as simple as that.

I choose postcards for this project because of there small size and less intimidating writing space.  You only need to write a few sentences.  Postcards can be bought, made, or you can even send a notecard if you do not have a postcard.

You will be paired up with a fellow Love Note participant who will be sending love notes your way.  Unfortunately I cannot 100% guarantee they will send out their postcards, but my hope in my heart is that they do.

Life flies by at warp speed sometimes. Seldom do we take the time to slow down, savor the moment, and reflect on what is really happening in our world.  The Love Notes Post Card Project invites you to 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 the hands it passes through.

Won't you join us?

If this sounds like something you are interested in, head on over to HERE to sign up.

Then between June 14th and June 15th you will receive and email from lovenotesjb@gmail.com with the name of the person you are paired up with.   On June 16th you will receive your first writing prompt.

If you have any questions about the project please feel free to email me at lovenotesjb@gmail.com

Please note if you have signed up for previous Post Card Projects you will need to sign up again to get in on this round.

I am really looking forward to watching all of this unfold and hope that YOU will be a part of it.

you are never alone

You are on a journey

And there are times you may feel isolated

Unsure

Lost on your path

But know that no matter where you stand

How afraid you are

How lonely you may feel

Know that you are not alone

You are never alone

There is always someone

Ready to take your hand

Willing to guide you home

Do not be fearful of reaching out

Asking for help

Speaking from the heart

Leaning on others

We are not meant to do it alone

There are others out there just like you

When we come together

We are stronger, braver, wiser

Together stand together along the shore

Look out to the horizon

Dream big

And step forward, together

shine

There is so much love in your heart
Share it with the world
Open up
Watch as you bloom others around you bloom
Do not be fearful to shine
Stand in the light
Reach up
And grow
The world needs to see your beauty
The world wants to see you shine
