Sending a little love to you, from me.

Hello people of the internet!

So maybe you are reading this blog post because you are a faithful follower (if that's you congrats and thank you so much, I really do appreciate it) or it popped up on your FaceBook news feed. Either way, that's awesome. On the other hand you might have stumbled upon this blog post because of a hash tag or little envelope you have found rencently. It that's you, then welcome.

Let me take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Jenny. I am your average college student from Illinois. I dream of adventures, making a difference in the world and just being a light to other people. I get the energy to fuel my fire by being around other people. I love dancing (when no one's watching) and singing my heart out while driving my daily commute.

I have recently started a campaign (or just little project I guess) that aims to put more love in this world. That is where the nice little envelope or hash tag comes in. This past summer I was a counselor at a camp for kids with disabilities. It was an amazing experience and taught me how important it is to love on those people that are around you. During our rest hours and breaks I started writing secret love letters to strangers. I don't really know what motivated me to do it other than I hope to spread love to strangers that maybe could use some.

It started out with one letter and now has grown to a tiny pile of letters. I decided to use the hash tag #loveletters2youfromme‬ on each of my cards with the hopes that people might be able to share their story. Each letter is different and comes directly from my heart. Sounds cheesy, I know, but it's genuinely true. I just wrote what came to my mind knowing that it would hopefully impact someone else's life in some way. Before I hide the letters in random places, I always pray over the letter and for the person that will receive it. I may not know the person that will pick up that letter or the things they are going through. One thing I do know is that as humans we desire to feel love and give love. That is the goal of this project. I want you (whether you are a stranger or not) to feel loved and then spread that love to others.  

So if you are reading this today and found one of my crazy love letters during your daily routine, I would love to hear about it. You can comment on here telling me about how you found it, if impacted you or your story. Feel free to spread the love by writing some love letters of your own or sharing this blog post. I am curious to see how much love we can spread to others. 

Well that's all folks. Keep being your awesome and amazing self. Don't ever change who you are, because you are enough. Love yourself and everyone around you.
