Friday Favorites...Riley's Story

Happy Friday beautiful hearts!  I am feeling so blessed by a young woman named Riley.  Her tale is short and sweet, but oh so heartwarming.  Her mother had purchased a copy of Ode to Love for her for Christmas and last evening I had the opportunity to run into her in person.  As soon as she saw me she exclaimed how much she loved the book she had received for Christmas.

"Sarah, that was my favorite present this Christmas!  I carry it in my back pack at school and whenever I am feeling down, or bothered by something I pull it out and I feel so much better."

Tears began to enter both of our eyes.  I ran over and gave her a big hug as she exclaimed what a gift she had received.  I'm fairly certain that I received the most amazing gift.   Her reaction touched my heart deeply. 

We never know how our lives might collide with another.  It was my dream that Ode to Love would wake people up, soothe tired hearts, nourish deflated dreamers, rally the love squad, and inspire joy in the lives of so many.   This wild ride has blessed me in so many ways!  I feel humble.  Excited.  And so ready to connect and share with so many.  

Cheers to all the dreams and stories that live within each of us.  May we say a hearty YES to love!

May You Sweetly Seek:)
In Gratitude, 
​Sarah
