Because it’s important to have traditions, and I’ve been pretty loosey-goosey with them around here, I’m starting “Send A Friend” Sundays. It’s a time when I’ll do a little recap of the week, sometimes with a message you might want to share with others you care about. We’ll see how it goes.

OK, so as you know, Effie came up with “The Elephant Manifesto”, and I typed it. It has traveled around the world and back again, bringing us beautiful words and love from many people. People have written to share their delight at Effie’s words, and these notes have brought me amazing joy.

So often these days, when I get together with a friend who has read the manifesto, our conversation will include something like, “I heard from my friend who is now a big Effie fan, and…”

For this I am grateful.

Effie has been able to help so many begin to embrace parts of themselves and their lives that are really, really scary — maybe, she’s even helped you. She’s been able to help people start caring for parts of themselves and begin to move forward toward happier places.

I think her words are super helpful. It’s really important to me that her words get out there to as many people as possible, to help as many people as possible.

So, if you know anyone who’s been struggling, I’d love it if you’d take a moment to send them the link to the manifesto:

Or, if it’s easier for you and those you care about, you can join the “Effie the Elephant Fan Club on Facebook” and invite people you care about to come hang out with us there.

All my best…
