Band-aids are a form of currency in our household. They are treasured by my kids, and every owie no matter how small seems to require one.

This got me thinking: An owie is never really dealt with until it has been cared for with love.

But somewhere between the age of 4 and 40, we stop paying attention to our owies. We leave them exposed yet we expect them to be ok. We no longer tell people openly that we have them, and we no longer expect others to kiss them and offer us protection.

Thus, there are a lot of unhealed, exposed owies out there. Ouch.

That lead me into thinking about something else: How can I help others? What is it you need that I can, maybe in my own small way, do for you?

And that, my dear friends, is leading me to put peace, happiness and love into action. I’m going to try to help with the owies.

Now, I know may sound a bit crazy and I have no idea what might happen. I only know that hopefully it will help people who need to connect and communicate, and it will enable me be the little extension-cord-of-life that I so dearly love being.

I know people are hurting. Lots and lots of owies are going untreated.

There is entirely too much pain in the world right now. We need to start giving our owies the love and attention they need.

Back again? That's awesome. Thanks for stopping by!
