== Love Notes ==
It's weird sometimes writing love notes for past days. Today (the 6th) is so much different than the 3rd/4th and so I feel strange writing things when we all can change in a day. So tonight I'm going to mention something I'm seeing all week.... all the time even.
I have watched you all from so many platforms this past week, and I continue to be in awe of you.I see people sending each other love notes from across the planet. I see artists who are drawing things JUST to help reduce people's anxiety and give them some distractions. I see people stepping out of their comfort zones and sharing WIPS because they want to make people smile in these hard times.
No matter what happens in this world, you are the good in it.
Please remember to tell yourself that. So much kindness, to strangers, to moots, to acquaintances -- people you've met in person, to people you've never met but talk to online. You are the change this world needs.
You are the kindness this world needs. They can't take that from you, only you have that power.
You are strong, and you are brilliant, and kindness is your strength. Keep shining lovelies.
You're doing all you can, and it makes such a huge difference in so many lives.
