Recently found this forum and its a game changer for me , so comforting and familiar even though I'm a newbie.

I had some very lonely times during the Dark Months of Winter.. I hadn't spoken to anyone for days on end. I feel connected again and its good for the Soul!😊❤ Thank you all.. and hopefully I can be a Beacon for others out there lost in the Darkness of Life.. Sun showed up here today and some of the snow is retreating.

I have been working on my book today. Very therapeutic!😊

Holy moly!! That's amazing that you started writing. How exciting. Good for you.I've been looking for a hobby. Something for self care and positivity. And I just found it today!

Probably won't start till it gets a little warmer and I get supplies, but at least now I know what I'm gonna do and I'm so excited. Eeeeeeee

In my BC chat someone mentioned something I remembered from my youth. Message rocks. They were rocks with pictures or messages on them miscellaneously place wherever for people to find at random.

I'm going to paint "positivity shells". Since I live near the ocean. I have no artistic ability, but it's the thought that counts, right!? Lol

And I'm going to leave them on the grounds outside all the hospitals and clinics I go to and anywhere else I want. Maybe my 23 yr old daughter and 17 yr old son will try it out with me and I can have some much needed bonding time with them. ❤️ That would be a dream come true...

Thats so Ironic. We started finding similar painted rocks here about 2yrs ago. On our hikes ect

I think I may have few pics of some of the ones us and kids found!

This is fabulous I am an ocean lover. I have seen the stones scattered around and they do bring a smile to my face. The fact that someone took the time to work on something and share it is beautiful.

I would love to see a photo of the shells when you start. I'm excited for you.

It's nice to hear that you're writing. We all need some sort of outlet. A way to express yourself or give voice to things that are going on inside. It can be an excellent way to process stuff or just get your mind off your troubles for a while. Hope you keep at it!
