An Unexpected Surprise

Photobucket

It's taken me by surprise actually, but I just can't get over how many people do kind things for me. This whole idea was for me was to reach out and find things I could do for others, yet nearly every day I find myself moved by something someone does for me. Each day I am more and more grateful as I've become increasingly aware of how kind other people are. An added benefit to the Love Revolution.

Just one example is when I dropped Hanna off at her preschool Valentine party. One of the other mom's asked me if she can eat Skittles (she's allergic to peanuts). When I replied she can, she let me know that she made a Valentine with Skittles for Hanna. I was moved to tears when Hanna brought her stash home she pulled out a baggie with an adorable covered matchbox full of Skittles and a note that said, "For the little girl allergic to nuts." I learned the rest of the boxes had M&M's in them.

Seriously, if you don't want to do this for others, just try it for you...you'll be shocked at how your life will change.

What a beautiful image, and an amazing 'other mom' to think of your sweet girl.
