I wanted to share a project i recently finished. One of my closest friend's sister(who I know, too) was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) in December. It's a really scary & aggressive cancer, and require some pretty aggressive chemo, etc.. I talk with my friend a lot, but she lives about 8 hours away, and I've been wanting to send something to her and her sister to let them know I'm always thinking about them.
I made these paper mobile things(i'm thinking of them as meditation mobiles) - hand painted paper, folded and strung to hang somewhere to know that I'm putting out my positive healing prayers and thoughts. I've sent one to my friend, one to her sister, and one to a mutual friend of ours who lives in Portland.
It's hard to live away from people you care about when they are in need of support. Just being able to take them a meal or hang with my friend and see a movie to alleviate some stress would be awesome. But, you do what you can.
And I do believe in the power of positive, connecting, healing thoughts.
Yes, I do.
What things have you done to help faraway friends in need? I'd love some more ideas.
What a wonderful idea, Sarah. I love them.
