#AbandonedBeads-Again

I'm sure these posts will get boring, but they are very important to me. Since I am physically pretty low, I'm not really able to do much good in the world these days. These little leave-behind pieces (only beaded bracelets so far, since I found this pretty and quick little pattern that I really enjoy stitching) bring me joy in the hopes that the person that finds each one I abandon may be someone like me who is very down and just needs a little something good to happen for them that day. Or maybe simply someone who will wear and enjoy the piece and find a bit of joy themselves in coming across an unexpected surprise that day. I try to imagine how I would feel if I came across one of these pieces left anonymously for the joy of someone they don'e even know. I left one one the counter when I went to physical therapy two days ago. It was gone when I left. Yea!!! No photo this time, I don't even remember which one I left. Best wishes and much love to all who find my pieces.

#AbandonedBeads-Another Leave-Behind

I was able to leave another little bracelet in the changing room of the radiology department at McBride in Norman. It’s not a place that gets a lot of traffic. So I am wondering, who will find it? Could be either an employee or a patient. I wish I could be a fly on the wall and see who finds it! The back of the card says, “...just leaving a little love behind for someone else to find.” I figured that way, someone won’t think it’s a lost item and try to turn it in at the reception desk. My hope, of course, is that it it will be found be someone who is really down and out, someone in need of a little  hope and positivity. ❤️

#AbandonedBeads

I had this little idea this morning... Remember a few years ago, in the news there was a story about someone leaving $100.00 bills in public places for others to find? Well, I can’t afford to do that, but I have tons of jewelry making supplies. I had these two little bracelets I made this past week, and after this idea hit, I was just busting at the seams to maybe spread a little love today. So I left the green one on a chair in the waiting room at McBride Orthopedic Hospital in Oklahoma City. I prayed to find someone who may be having a tough time to give the pink one to on the way back to my car. I walked around a bit, but no one struck me as looking down and out. I circled back around and spied a Hispanic-looking woman in a chair. She - well, I couldn’t say that she looked too much like she needed something today, but maybe a little. I held my hand out to her and dropped the bracelet into her hand. I said, “For you.” She looked confused (wouldn’t you be?), but said thank you. I’m not sure what she thought, but it’s doing me a world of good...  When I get home, I’ll make some tags to attach to future leave-behinds. This feels good and will probably do me more good than any of my future recipients. But you just never know...
