Thanks for joining me on another Sunday. 

Today, I am sending you buttered toast on a rainy day. 

I send you a surprise text from a friend, sharing a thought-provoking quote. 

I send you freshly washed sheets, a cozy comforter, and a feeling of complete peace. 

💥💓💥

In today’s audio LoveGram we are chatting some more about one of my favorite topics: friendship. 

In the LoveGram you get to meet my friend, Tamara. She drove six hours to see me during a very busy time of her life — because she wanted me to know how important our friendship is. 

You can hear us both on today’s audio as we explore more about how ways to let our friends know we care — and why this is so important to our own well-being. 

We also talk about the vitality we feel by having random connections to people we pass on the street or on public transportation.

💥💓💥

While you are listening to today’s LoveGram, think about if there is a friend in your life whom you want to reach out to in order to reconnect. 

Consider what a huge gift your energy and time are to those around you. 

Take time to send mail or texts to people you love. 

Say hello to strangers and compliment them on something that catches your eye. 

Be the one to initiate and elevate connections. 

It really matters in your life. YOU will feel the joy in extending yourself. I promise. 

💥💓💥

I see you. 

I can feel your beautiful, open, and generous heart. 

I know you want to be as loving as possible for people in your life. 

I know you are doing the best you can. 

Can you see yourself as a leader in your circle of friends or in your family? Try it on for size! 

I believe it you and in your gifts of love!

Seek celebration — even in dark corners,

💖 P.S. Mother’s Day is next Sunday here in the U.S. No matter where you live, you can join the latest Secret Agents of Change Mission. This mission is dedicated to giving anonymous love to mothers (or moms-at-heart) who need a boost of love and joy. (Note, you can just watch the beginning part when Rosemerry reads the poem and I share the prompt. However, if you watch the whole thing, you will hear many beautiful and tender ideas how to offer love.) 

💖 P.P.S. Here’s the replay link to an author panel all about the many layers of Mother’s Day. If you have/had a difficult relationship with your own mom, you will appreciate meeting Karen CL Anderson, who writes about this and gives a lot of tips on navigating the emotional trauma.

Here’s today’s LoveGram: See purple box below!
