During the pandemic, I received this text from my husband who was at work, โIt is almost noon, and no one has yelled at me! Starting to have withdrawal symptoms.โ
So many people were redlining. They were done. They were ready to fight whomever they came across. The attacks, disappointments, and negative social media posts were constant. Everyone was quick to state what was wrong but when wrongs were made right, the right wasnโt noticed. Instead, they moved on to the next wrong, and the next, and the next. After two years of fighting through a pandemic, many people’s cups were empty.
People around you needed a glimmer of hope. Hope that things would turn around. Hope that someone would recognize their hard work. Hope that someone would check in on them just to see if they were okay.
In a time when many were redlining, we had the opportunity to be the change, to say a kind word, give kudos where it was due, and speak up with positivity!
A few years before, I had created the You’ve Been Hugged Printable that was meant to be used for Valentine’s Day, along with a few treats.
I’m excited to say that a lot of people have purchased that printable in order to brighten someone’s Valentine’s Day but what if you could hug someone, any time of the year?
That idea prompted me to create a business card-sized You’ve Been Hugged printable that wasn’t specific to Valentine’s Day and could be used to make someone smile any day of the year!
Even with the pandemic in our rearview mirror, there are many opportunities to spread hope!

Here are a few ideas:

The card (and possibly a small gift) could be given anonymously, as well.
Years ago, I created Sunshine Cards. Over the years, many people have downloaded and given away those cards. Imagine my surprise when someone emailed to say they had received one of those cards and wondered who had given it to them. They found my site address on the card and looked up my email address in order to ask if I knew who had left the card for them. I was so happy to be able to tell her that it was someone who wanted to brighten her day!
