Encouraging Words

March 5, 2010 By Chris Sneddon

The day I received these little “I Love You” cards in the mail, I was out the door and leaving them at all kinds of different places.  The day I took this picture, my husband and I had gone to lunch.  As we were leaving I quickly slipped one into the holder and then quickly took a picture.  I love to keep a little photo momento for myself.  I so enjoy leaving little cards or notes for others to find.  I find myself wondering about the person who finds my card.  Did it bring a smile to their face? Did they maybe take it and pass it on to someone else?  If I don’t have a card, sometimes I’ll leave a little hand written note which works just as well.  Either way, hopefully I’ve made someone smile. 

Want some cards of your own to leave for someone to find? The ladies over at Kind Over Matter have some gorgeous free, downloadable quotation cards that you can print out.  Print some up, tuck them in your purse or camera bag.  If you decide to leave one somewhere, take a picture and share with us.  We’d love to see the joy you’re spreading, too!

    I received a journal in the mail once, where someone started it, wrote something really nice anonymously about someone else, then sent it to yet another person. The journal had made it half way across the country and back. I was the 20 or so person who got it and the 2nd person in the book wrote something about me!! I was shocked and amazed by what she said about me. She is one of my dearest friends, but didn’t ever think I would read these words. I totally forgot about that until now. what a great idea! thanks for reminding me how powerful the anonymous word is.
