Touching Hearts

11/6/2013

0 Comments

 
My customers make my heart swell with love.  They are amazing, loving, caring people, and knowing they use some of my work to express their kindness just blows me away.  Just in the past month, I've had a family buy an awareness ribbon for their son who survived childhood cancer, a woman buy an angel for the woman she was buying her house from because the homeowner had to sell after losing her husband of 58 years.  And most recently, I've been contacted about angels for memorial gifts for infant loss.  I can't find the words - the loss is heartbreaking and the kind gestures of strangers are so heart-filling.  I'm fairly certain the English language simply fails at the ability to express what I feel right now.

In the month that a lot of Americans choose to express their gratitude, I will express my own.  I'm grateful.  I'm grateful for the stories shared with me by my customers.  I'm grateful they reach out to me in order to express their love and kindness to others.  I'm grateful to see such beauty and caring in my fellow humans.  It's sometimes hard to remember that there is so much good in the world when we've been taught to focus on the bad.

Thank you.  Thank you all for being the beautiful people that you are.  I acknowledge and honor your wonderful hearts.

Touched by a Bigger Heart

I read another blogger's post this morning.  It was about him being bitten by a dog, and his young son almost being attacked by the same dog too.  I was ready to be angry and join the Internet mob against the owner of the dog ... but Single Dad Laughing doesn't roll like that.  I should know this by now!  Instead, he talked to the owner and long story short, their family is in a VERY tough situation and they could really use a flood of love coming their way rather than that angry Internet mob.  Dan asked for donations, and donations he's getting!  I donated what personal cash I can to them, but I don't feel like that's enough.  So if you can find it in your heart to get behind this cause and either donate as well or go shopping in my store, I'll donate proceeds from all the sales I receive today through Wednesday and you can feel good knowing the money is going to a good family in need and you can have a beautiful work of glass either to keep or give it as a gift to someone you care about.  Also, all the orders placed by Midnight Wednesday in the USA should all be received by Christmas.  Shipping is always free on all my orders being sent inside the USA.

I highly recommend reading Dan's blog about the event, and the link to donate is on his page too.
