Mail a Hug

This is an idea that I got from Pintrest, one of my favorite sites!

We decided to mail our hugs to a friend who had just left the hospital, some family who recently visited from out of state, and a family member who is in an assisted living situation.  They were fun  and easy to make and everyone appreciated them.

This may be one that we do fairly frequently, as it is an engaging, affordable craft which helps us connect with  important people in our lives!

Lunch for Love and Acceptance

 There is a little gem of a cafe called Cafe 407.


 It is connected to Ophelia's Place



 The proceeds from the yummy food go to support the programming to help folks recover from eating disorders.



 The cafe is super cute, with inspiring quotes posted around the building

I noticed the top one here that says "random acts of kindness" in the top corner.  I guess that means this is my kind of place!

When I have out of town visitors or local friends who want to get together for a meal, I will frequently suggest meeting here.  The fact that this is not only a quality establishment but provides a wonderful service that can be self-sustaining.  And really, how clever is it to help folk recover from eating disorders using a cafe!

From one to the next, to the next, to the next....

I came across this link explaining how 55 cars in a row "paid it forward" for the next customer at a drive-thru.  And there is a slideshow videos about the kindness that people are spreading. This makes me happy, and I sincerely hope it spreads even further!
