we want to be loved and nurtured. No, it's more than a desire. We NEED it. Some more than
others. We thrive on it. It is a hunger that seems to never be satisfied.
Encouraging others is a big deal to me. I want to be one that tosses someone
a line when they feel like they're in need. Whatever that looks like. I don't like to see others
down and if I can help them in any possible way, I want to do
that.
When I think of how much a word or a gift of encouragement means to me, it motivates me
even further. Sometimes a smile is all it takes. That's all you have time for and that's ok.
And then there are times when you have the desire and time to make something that will
say something a little more lasting. Something that can be looked at numerous times for
encouragement, a laugh or a bit of inspiration. That is how this little book of mine turned
into a major craft project. I really wanted it to give a boost!

This little token of love was so much fun and yes, it took a lot of time and effort. It was
worth every second. What better way could I spend my time? The occupation of encouragement
is one of the most noble that I can think of. Helping people to see that there is someone who
cares is a gift itself , but it's such a joy to be able to give little gifts to people and though other
s are blessed, I feel certain that I am far more blessed in the giving of it than the recipient is in the
getting.
Maybe some of you have used your talents to make little treasures that have brought
delight and lifted the hearts of your friends and families and perhaps even strangers. I would love to hear about your creations.
Blessings,

I'm blessed that you liked the book and the words. It's encouraging to know that you are reading and finding a bit of a connection. It's so helpful to know that we're not alone. Your comment was so sweet and encourag-ing. Thank you!
