Kathy has been posting LOADS of notes!

Jaci wrote, "The last few months have been crazy busy with grad school, my job, traveling, and planning a wedding so I was really starting to get down on myself and I found that I was constantly being hard on myself and I hated that. I have made a commitment for Lent to stop engaging in negative self-talk."

Regina wrote, "I was at school today and when I walked into the bathroom, I saw this stuck to the mirror.  It officially made my day and it has made all my friends smile."

Kelly wrote, "I’m not sure who’s behind this, but today when I left Johnston Middle School, nearly every car in the parking lot had a sticky note placed on it’s window.  Each had a kind message and a heartfelt saying, something that is very much needed in our building right now – we are a building that is recovering from the loss of a very prominent student who committed suicide last month.  I’d like to think that the individuals behind these notes had Cameron in mind when spreading a message of kindness and love; he certainly would have approved!
