You Matter Moment of the Week
“In our town of Midland Michigan, we’ve had a community-wide Wellbeing Coalition, and several groups have completed Positive Psychology/Wellbeing certification. It was during this class that I learned about the You Matter Marathon. One of the “tiny habits” that I developed was sending You Matter cards to my staff at school, friends, church members, and community members. I’m the Special Education Director for the Midland County ESA. Our school district has a “Better Together” committee, and we’ve worked on positive psychology and wellbeing for the last three years.
Several recipients of You Matter cards have told me how receiving a You Matter Card has helped them with the stress of a very stressful school year. Recipients have also asked me about the You Matter campaign and joined the campaign and followed the website. I’ve nominated several local agencies to sign up for their first 30 free cards.
I truly find wellbeing and happiness in sharing the cards with others. In a world of text messages, emails and social media, receiving a handwritten note and a You Matter Card can turn a day around not only for the recipient, but for the sender.”
