July 24 (Day 146) Drop A Love Bomb

I really love this idea!  This is a great way to make a difference - and all it costs is a few minutes of your time!  Literally under 5 minutes a week!  There are people out there who are experiencing difficulties everyday.  At times it is difficult to live this life but we can make a difference!  This is all about ENCOURAGING others! 

Mission: Changing the world, in just 5 minutes a week.

 
Drop a Love Bomb is a great way to make a difference and is so easy!   You can subscribe via email to become a member of the Love Bomb group.  Each week you will receive a new mission.  You will be directed to the blog of someone who is struggling and in need of encouragement and support.  Hundreds of us will visit the person’s blog and leave a positive, encouraging comment to help them get through whatever’s going on in their life. The comments range from simple messages of kindness to deep personal stories about going through a similar struggle.



The idea behind this type of mission is to amaze someone with the generosity of the human spirit and the kindness of strangers. They may be going through a really tough situation, but if they get a massive love bomb dropped on them by hundreds or thousands of people from all over the world, they’re going to remember this time in their lives not only for the pain they endured, but also for the love shown to them and the increased hope in humanity they will gain. And who knows? Something like that could change a life.


When each of us spend just five minutes to read a blog post and respond with an authentic, heartfelt comment, we can make a profound impact on people’s lives, and give them a gift they will remember forever.

Love Bomb is a project of ItStartsWith.Us. Once a week we come together to drop hundreds of love bombs (in the form of blog comments) for those who need it most.



A recent Love Bomb Mission was for Quinn, a girl struggling through Anorexia. You can read a portion of her reply below: 

 “i don’t have the words to tell you how grateful i am to each and everyone of you who took the time to write a thoughtful and loving comment to me. i’ve never received such kindness in all my life and i can’t really explain how i make me feel except that there are tears in my eyes and each of you, in some small way, have made me feel braver and loved. thank you. thank you from the depths of my heart.”

So, check it out and join the team.... Let's spread a little love and encouragement to someone who needs it!
