I’ve declared today, “Give a little love day.” Why? You ask. No particular reason.
Lately, it feels like the world is overwhelming. I have friends in health, marriage, you name it they’re in it crisis. So, instead of writing the most encouraging and enlightening blog post of your life on following your God-sized Dreams, I’m doing a giveaway!
Check out these beautiful hand-made necklaces and clutch. They’re from the craftsmen(women) at Fair Trade Friday.
If you haven’t heard of the Fair Trade Friday club yet, take a minute to click over to their site. They have some new boxes that I didn’t know they had! They’re not just pretty necklaces and earrings anymore. Girl Boss Box anyone? (We’re not affiliated, just big fans)
Leave me a comment below on how you are encouraging a fellow dreamer in your life and I’ll choose one winner.
I hope you win!

November 1, 2017 at 7:16 amAlecia, just this post encouraged me this morning. Sometimes all we need to do is be cheery to feel cheery. And you truly did so beautifully with this post!

November 1, 2017 at 9:07 amThe dreamer I am encouraging is myself. I recently went back to school to change careers….so I’m just a little older than most traditional college students and often times feel discouraged even though I am kicking butt in classes! I am a subscriber to this blog and it has helped keep me on track to pursue my dream of becoming a medical provider.

November 1, 2017 at 9:22 amWow, Alison! I’m encouraged just by reading the intensity of your desire to follow this dream God has put in your heart! It’s wonderful that you have found this place of encouragement!

November 1, 2017 at 9:21 amI was recently encouraged by a blogging friend when she came for coffee and brought me a collection of her original images in postcard size prints. I’m passing the blessing along by mailing them one by one to people who need a smile: a college kids who’s homesick; a woman in my church who is continually battling cancer; a friend with a newly empty nest. I don’t have magic words, but the image is lovely and at least they know I’m praying for them.

November 1, 2017 at 10:04 amI am encouraging a dear friend who writes beautifully, to share her story. The end isn’t written yet, but she has seen such adversity and she has grown so much in her understanding of the love of the Lord, that I know it will bless many. I pray someday she’ll decide to share.
Alecia Simersky says
November 2, 2017 at 4:33 pmGood for you! Sharing our stories not only helps us heal, but others. I hope she decides to share it too.

November 1, 2017 at 11:28 amI’m encouraging my sister by writing her notes daily to help her regain strength and courage as she waits for her home to be redone. She is living away in order to be away from the dust and noise of the reconstruction. Her faith is strong, but her body and soul feel anxious and lonely. I also call a friend who has had a devastating diagnosis about her late stage cancer. Little steps to help people can make a difference in their lives. I want to encourage others to not give up, but put their trust in the Lord, that He will give the best to those who wait on Him to renew their strength. This is they way to “give a little love” and to find satisfaction in serving others.
