The idea is to leave a love letter addressed 'to you' in public places for someone to find and the hope is that someone will read it and it will have a positive impact on their day. I know is reality some or most of the letters will get thrown out or be read by someone whose mind might not be open to something like that at that time... but if one or two or hundreds of people's days are brightened it's worth it.
When I saw the video and read about this movement I was immediately drawn to it because it reminded me of the little things that brighten up your day... and how cold a big city can be. I have found myself changing over the years I've lived here and looking down instead of a hello or a greeting to someone else in the park or on the sidewalk. The last couple weeks I've been making a more conscious effort to not avoid eye contact and to be friendlier to strangers. The world can be a very cold and lonely place at times and little things do make a difference.
Have a look at these videos and have a think about how you would feel about finding an encouraging and love filled letter from a stranger. I hope you would be open enough to let the positive energy in and know that you are worthy of so much love. Also consider sharing your love for others and know that you can make a positive change and the ripples are endless.
