Fourth, eleventh, ninth, and sixth,
Thirty days to each affix;
Every other thirty-one
Except the second month alone.

Leap of Faith: hopeREVO

February 29th, 2008

I took a leap of faith and joined this a site called “Shutter Sisters“. There are a lot of wonderful, insightful, talented, and righteous sisters-in-art there. My Goodness! I get such a great feeling when I’m there reading, looking, and posting.

While cruising around the submissions for Love Thursday I learned about “hopeREVO“, and what a concept it is—indeed. I’ve decided to have my own revolution of hope. Today I created my first batch of notes to leave around our town, as we go on about our daily routine. I plan on leaving these notes in various places, in the hope that those who find one will have their day brightened. My very own, simple, and beautiful Pay it Forward! It’s endearing and exciting to me, all at the same time.

My Hope Notes:

You can do it, too! Please do!

With this post comes to an end my Leap of Faith February. Thanks to Piper, Jim, and Christine for the concept; it’s been a joy! I might even have to do more of them, as I feel that I haven’t even scratched the surface. I think I just might….

The Leaves

The leaves are so green
Nice and pretty; then swiftly
Fall takes them away

Outdoor Wonders

The air smells so fresh
The grass wiggles in the wind
And birds chirp all day

The Jungle

The elephant stomps
The king of the jungle roars
The zoo’s a wild place!

Two People

I love my Mama
I love her so very much
She takes care of us

I love my Papa
He makes me laugh all the time
He’s the very best
