"Hi friend! You've got heart, fire, and grit. And the world hasn't even seen your best yet. Go get after it!" "Hi friend! You don't have to have it all figured out. You don't have to be cheerful all of the time. You just have to keep showing up. Even when your heart hurts. You are already enough. You're already doing so much more than you give yourself credit for. The world is better with you in it." "Hi friend! Yeah trying is terrifying. What if you fail? What if you fall? But... What if you fly? Trying doesn't mean perfection. It means you are brave. So, go on, friend... Just try. You might surprise yourself! I'm rooting for you and I'm so proud of you!" "Hi friend! Sure, no rain, no flowers, but no one said it had to feel like a monsoon. If life feels like you're being pelted by sideways rain and hail, just think of how beautiful those flowers are going to be when they bloom. Hang in there - you're doing so much better than you think."

Left side reads, "you are worthy. I love you. We've got this. Keep going." Right side reads, "Hi friend! Your value isn't measured in productivity, social media likes or the approval of people who can't see you clearly." Left side reads, "You matter. I love you. We've got this. Keep going." Right side reads, "Hi friend! Feelings are like farts... Sometimes you gotta let them out to feel better." Card reads, "Hi friend! You are not behind. You are not late. You are right on time. You've survived every hard day that's tried to break you. That's not weakness, that's strength. Don't be afraid to rest, to start over, or try something new. You are allowed to take up space. I'm so proud of you!" Top of card reads, "Be kind to all kinds. This random act of kindness is brought to you by the letters P, T, S, D and Taylor Swift's "The Prophecy." Bottom of card reads, "Hi friend! You are doing better than you think. Even if today feels heavy, messy, or imperfect, you still showed up. You are still here and that matters. You matter. Your existence in this world is a gift. We need your laugh, your weird, your quirks, your favorite meal, your dreams, your stubborn hope. I'm so proud of you!"

You make the world softer just by being in it. Keep shining your light - you never know who you're inspiring. I love you. We've got this. Keep going."

What little birdie sent me hand water colored bookmarks with #KindnessCity written on them?? 😭😭😭😭 They are so beautiful and I can't wait to tuck them in books with love notes.

I'm not crying - YOU'RE crying!
Pic of envelope and three beautiful hand water colored bookmarks. Top is pinkish/red and said "you are beautiful," middle is yellow, green, blue and says "you are loved," bottom is pink and light blue and says "you are enough." They are STUNNING and a total surprise!

Now recruiting kind Kansas Citians with Kindness Quests (aka kindness homework 😅)... About to bust out SEVERAL retail/service industry Kindness Quests because people are largely awful and a kind word can really make the difference if you're working a double. #KindnessCity #NotesFromKindnessCity
Pic of Kindness Quests - top asks the recipient to draw a picture for someone who needs a smile, the second is to write a positive message in sidewalk chalk (and the chalk is included!) Pic of Kindness Quests - top is "next time someone is rude, respond with softness and don't take it personally." And bottom is to look in the mirror and something kind OUT LOUD to yourself." More Kindness Quests - top is "leave a sticky note on a public bathroom mirror that says something positive" and bottom is "compliment a stranger's vibe, outfit, or laugh." Kindness Quest: retail workers edition! Learn and use their name!

My heart is bursting today. Waiting on the birthday girl to get here for presents and cake. She's been out this afternoon collecting all of her birthday freebies!

Flowers by Emily in Leawood knocked this arrangement out of the park! 🎉💐💖👑

What did I tell you??
Her next response, "K. Enjoy being a miserable bitch." Me: "Projection much? 🐸"

Update to the update. ☠️

Will she respond? She usually has to get the last word in, even if it's just "K." 🪦
Response from Jill (fake last name) Turner from Dixie 105.7 that says, "Yep. K. Please stay in your lane. You are exhausting to say the least." My response: "My lane is that child. I'm just updating for your records. Ray is a sorry excuse for a father and grandfather. Enjoy 4th Wife-dom!" 🎉💐

Happiest of birthdays to my 19 year old! I made her from scratch - didn't I do a good job? 😭😂

How is she already 19?

Time is a THIEF. 💐💖🎂🎉🌻🫶🏼

I chipped in $100 USD - can you at least retweet this to help this family? Chip in if you can. Free Palestine forever. My heart breaks for Gaza, especially the parents of little kids. Please help if you can! 🙏🏼

Not the thirstiest, but recent... I was in Topeka visiting my dead grandparents and sending my dad a selfie that said, "your folks say hi!" ☠️😂

My shirt reads, "support your local girl gang."

The saga continues. I had to dig out my old phone, wait for it to charge up enough to get her number that didn't transfer to my new phone.

YOU ARE GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY EXISTENCE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. I DON'T CARE HOW LONG OUR MOMS HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER. They're both trauma-bonded alcoholics.
Screenshot of text to friend who hasn't spoken to me in almost a year: "Hey - hadn't heard from you in forever! Just checking in and seeing how you're doing. 💜 (Sent this via FB Messenger last weekend because I got a new phone and hadn't transferred contacts over - but assuming you don't ever look at FB messages because I rarely check!) But making sure you're alive and well."
