Ever feel like you are failing miserably at life? Yup – me too. Everything piles up, the bills keep coming in, decisions need to be made, stress levels sky rocket, you can’t shake that pesky headache that’s been hanging around for days and nothing goes right… all the while trying desperately to balance everything and everyone so life doesn’t come crashing down in a glorious ball of fire. You spend your days smiling and acting like you’ve totally got life worked out, when really you have no idea what the hell you are doing and wondering if you even remembered to put underwear on this morning.

If you’ve ever felt this, you’re not alone. This adulting business is hard work and sometime it’s a little harder than others. But, that’s ok. Life is not always going to be sunshine and rainbows like the movies (and social media) portrays. Sometimes you’re just going to want to run away and hide in your blanket fort (where I’m currently sitting) and ride it out. I’m a big believer that you have to live through the tough times to truly appreciate the good times. Even when you think your failing at life and nothing’s going your way, if you have a roof over your head, food to eat and people that love you – you’re still better off than millions of other people in the world. And unlike their lives, yours will sort itself out soon and everything will be ok. You’ve just got to sit tight, hold on, scream if you need too, and wait for the ride to be over.

While I feel like I’d probably lose my head if it wasn’t screwed on these day, the thought that my little love notes are travelling the world sharing their love and hopefully putting smiles on lots of new faces makes my day…every day. Yes – we’ve GONE GLOBAL and I couldn’t be more excited. Eeeek! Thanks to a very special lady, who gets just as excited as I do about delivering our little love notes, we are sharing the love in Singapore, Zurich, Ibiza AND the UK. In a time when the world needs kindness the most (with all these recent terror attacks), it is more important than ever to spread the love and pay it forward whenever you can, however you can – no matter how big or small. Imagine if even one in every three people was to perform one act of kindness – imagine how many people that would touch and how far we could reach. Whilst we can’t kill off these awful attackers with kindness, we can share it with those who are desperately in need (and even those who aren’t) and we can try and make this world that is falling apart at the seams, a little bit brighter; one smile at a time.

So, go on – be that one in three. Spread that shit everywhere!!! Make someone’s day – it will be worth it, I promise.
