Day 78 – random acts of love

I’ve been carrying sidewalk chalk around with me since the 10,000 views party where I had people go out and write random love notes on the sidewalk. Walking around after the party reading those notes made me very happy.

Despite my best intentions I hadn’t written another sidewalk chalk love note since. I was always too busy, trying to catch a bus, make a meeting when I was out on the street.

Until today. Crashing health-wise has really slowed me down. Small blessings. Today I had some time in a park with nothing else to do, so I got out that chalk. Wrote little notes like:

Hi Beautiful

you are loved

TRY

Anything I could think of that would have sparked me up, made me smile as I was plowing through my life eyes down, head in my problems. I can’t believe how happy it made me, just leaving a trail of joy on the sidewalk.

I’d like to start a sidewalk chalk revolution, not just for hopscotch and rainbows anymore, but laying down random acts of love. Paying it forward, putting joy under people’s feet.

How cool would that be? Who’s in?

THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN’T DO!

To this day, if you ask her how my dad broke his toe (something that happened well over 30 years ago now), you’ll get such a fit of tear streaming breathless giggles you won’t ever really get the story, Continue reading »

Day 50 – zombie love

As the kiss deepened he felt a rising heat move through his body.

..or at least he would have if he hadn’t died a good six weeks ago, his body temperature now never rising above ambient.

But his love for this woman may just surpass his love for Braaaaaaaains!!! Continue reading »
