Daily Random acts of kindness

This is a friends comments after recieving cards and gifts a short time ago. We never can tell how our random acts of kindness are going to impact the life of the people we care about as well as the person on the receiving end of our kindness.  I encourage everyone to never let someone you care about to go to their mailbox and  only pull out bills or junk mail.

I had not gotten my mail since my mother passed away. I was not in a hurry because I new there would be several card expressing their condolences and love and would bring all my emotions to the surface. I wanted to wait for awhile after the funeral when my emotions had settled down. (It did not help to wait)

When I picked up the mail, I was extremely humbled by how many of you took the time to expressed your feelings of warmth, sympathy, kindness and love. I express my gratitude to everyone of you who sent me a card, those of you who sent flower and those of you who expressed your expressions of love and concern on social media, as well. I stayed up half the night reading them.

I want to tell you of one card that the person who sent it had no idea of the emotion and incredible warmth that would come over me when I opened it. I had tears in my eye already and then I opened this card and the flow of water that ran down my face did not stop for quite some time after.

On the front of this card was the quote from of my mom's favorite book, Charlie's Monument. I had just decided 2 or 3 weeks before my mom's passing to frame this quote and I was going to give it to my mom this Mother's Day. The place that framed it had just sent me an email of the finished gift. As my good friend Robert Green would say, "Coincidence? I think not."

Last night I was reminded of what a simple card can do for someone to lift them to a higher level of happiness, comfort, love and joy. Unlike any other product that is bought and used in our industry, I believe ours has the power to heal, straighten and bring joy to one's soul unlike any other.

Thank you, Jordan Adler for that special moment in time that was not a Coincidence for you to find that quote and send it on the front of your card to me.

Thank you everyone for lifting me up with all the wonderful cards in a time when I truly needed it..
