You Matter Moment of the Week

“This is my second “You Matter Marathon” and I am loving participating in it again! I even ordered an additional box for this years marathon in anticipation for the month of good feelings I get when sharing them!
Last weekend while on a out of town trip I almost felt like the Easter Bunny leaving the cards in random locations, in the airports and with fellow travelers. It was so much fun to hand cards to each member of the flight crew. I even gave cards to the cleaning crew who were entering the plane as I was deplaning! The rental car agent wanted to tape his to the credit card machine to share with his customers.
A bathroom mirror here, a passenger there, I was glad to have enough cards to indulge myself as much as I wanted to!”
