You Matter Moment of the Week
![Huddle with Cards](https://youmattermarathon.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Huddle-with-Cards.jpg)
“In our town, we have 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 am the Special Education Director for the Midland County ESA. Our school district has a “Better Together” committee, and we have worked on positive psychology and wellbeing for the last three years.
Several recipients of You Matter cards have responded on how receiving a 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 have nominated several local agencies to sign up for their 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.”
