Be kind because you can <3

I’m noticing some positive differences in the world during this pandemic. Friends reaching out, sending letters through the mail with notes to brighten my day, kind words from strangers about being well and safe in emails and posts. Never before have I received so many thank you messages about my books. I received a dozen in the past five days and it makes all the difficult days 1000 times better. Writing is a very difficult career because you put your heart on the line every time someone picks up one of your stories. I am so grateful for the people who have taken the time to reach out to me with kind words—Especially at a time when the world is in such chaos and being locked indoors can bring out bad moods. I just thought I’d share that little bit of sunshine in these relatively gray days. We’re doing good, saving lives, and maybe even learning more about ourselves and about gratitude while sheltering in. I hope you’re having a lovely day❤️❤️
