Over the past year, I have had the opportunity to meet some
wonderful people and experience some beautiful as well as painful experiences
that have molded me into a more compassionate, spiritual, patient and loving
individual. And, with this growth I have developed a heart and mind to help
those who I love see the beauty and strength within themselves and give them
words of encouragement to lighten their heavy hearts. Just in taking the time
to listen to a friend in need and do so without judgment and unconditionally
creates a bond of trust that cannot be broken. Just recently, I have found
another way to show unconditional love and support to those in my life, which
has been through letters of affirmation. To some they are just words on a piece
of paper, but to those experiencing a "valley moment" it's a touching
way of knowing that someone cares about you and your situation. It doesn't take
long to write a letter of affirmation, all I use is a piece of torn paper, a
sharpie and my unconditional heart. With those things, I begin to write what I
feel about that person as God lays it on my heart as a token of encouragement
and love. So, what I would like to challenge my readers to do is send someone
you may know, who’s experiencing a tough time, a letter of affirmation, it
won't require a lot of fanfare or time, only your heart on paper in its purest
form and I promise you, the recipient will never forget that they have a person
that genuinely cares for them and their well-being. At the end of the day, it
may be the only form of “visual” love that he or she may receive at that point
in time.
You've just been cared for ..in the MixX!
