The little yellow arrow Project

Some days.... are so hard.
Are you with me?
We face big scary situations, our hearts shatter, we get discouraged, disappointed, let down, beat up, forgotten. We face limitations, uncertainty, frustration.

The details are different for each of us...
but no one is immune to the HARD parts. 
No one.

Maybe you are standing in the midst of grief? 
Maybe you just received a devastating diagnosis?
Perhaps  you wake up every day to chronic pain?
Maybe you have a loved one who you can't be with?
 
The details are different for each of us... but no one is immune to the hard parts.

We need each other.

Because relationships fail. 
Houses burn down.
Jobs get outsourced.
Loneliness creeps in.

The details are different for each of us... but no one is immune to the hard parts.

No one.

Maybe you feel overwhelmed or underwhelmed.
Maybe you are confused about what to do with your life?
Maybe you don't even want to go on.

I know friends, I know. There are some deeply hard parts to this thing called life.
And I have been there.

I once wrote a song that went 
"these are the darkest days, I can't go on
I'm sad and I'm hurting, and I am alone"

I've have been there. In the dark days.
My details may differ from yours.
But I "get it". 
I know hard.

and 

I know that you can get through it. 

I did. I do. and I will. Even though it's not easy.

We move forward... even if it's slow. With extreme caution. One foot, in front of the other. One day and then the next. 

That's what I want to say. 
You can do it! You matter!!!!! 
And someday, the hard parts will be a little less hard.
Someday you will find something good and pure and lovely.
And you will know too. Because you did it. 

I started a project...  "the little yellow arrow"
 
As a way to encourage people. Because we all need a little encouragement sometimes.
The details are different for each of us... but no one is immune to the hard parts.

I want to be a part of the step forward. I want to cheer you on and lift you up.
so I write letters.
That's how I do it.
That is what "the little yellow arrow" project is all about. 


If you need a letter...
a little reminder that you are loved, that you are enough, that you will get through the hard parts.
Send me a message. Leave a comment. I will show up in your mailbox. 
I believe we need each other.
I need you.
