Every once in a while

An angel enters your life. You don’t always know it right away, but one day you find out. Chances are, when you find this out it may seem insignificant – especially to the angel or others around you. So – about my "angel" – One day on splitcoast I got a message to the effect of "hey- your boys look about the same age as mine" and a friendship was formed. At first it was fun comments to each other on our SCS cards, then a few PM’s – then I started a blog and received lots of support. She started a blog and I try to always support her too. So – why now do I consider her a little bit of an angel? I think a few of you may have figured out from some of my posts that I’ve been having a hard time being a stay at home Mommy (my life’s dream) to now two toddlers I guess (and wife to hubby) – doing OK, but struggling still (so not easy to admit)….well, she’s been a good e-"ear", but yesterday in particular was another tough one, and to get a few moments break I walked to my mailbox and see an unexpected package. I come inside and find 2 little packages of Michael’s $1 clear stamps and a block, and a little photo album along with a note – Saw these and thought of you. Thought you might like some happy mail, hope you had a good Mother’s Day. OK, so I might be hormonal, but I cried. Seriously!

When you do something like that for someone, you might never know the true impact. It’s like a single raindrop hitting a still pond – the ripple effect can be so far reaching. So I want to pay it forward. The only one not eligible is my angel (doesn’t sound fair huh?). The first person to comment on this post with their correct guess at who this person is will in turn receive a small RAK (random act of kindness) from me. This may sound hard, but do a little reading on my blog and you’re very likely to figure it out.

After I have a winner, I am going to post a link to her blog, then I am hoping that you can help me thank her for her simple, but loving gesture by commenting on her blog in some way – a comment on a card or project or even a hello…… So please check back. This should be fun.

To my secret angel. Thank you – from the bottom of my heart. I’m sure you didn’t expect all this – but you definitely deserve it. More women need girlfriends like you. I have been blessed with so many good ones in my life, and I’m happy to have one more.
