Align With Love

LOVE HAS NOT BEEN CANCELLED: A CHALLENGE FOR YOU TO #ALIGNWITHLOVE

Last week I was on a coaching call with some fellow entrepreneurs and our coach asked what we were doing right now to spread our message in the world.

I raised my hand on the ZOOM (you know, our favorite way to chat and connect right now) and shared that I am delivering oils to the essential businesses in my town so owners and employees can keep their immune systems boosted while working during this pandemic.

To me, this is a simple and random act and a way that makes me feel like I am truly helping.

My kids also have been on a baking binge since being stuck at home. We’re using it as a way to teach them life skills, have fun and do a little math with the measurements, etc. But here’s the reality: Mom doesn’t need to be eating everything they make and so we are sharing the love with neighbors, too!

Immediately, my coach got a big smile on his face and said, “Now I challenge you to challenge your team to do the same.”

I accepted the challenge. And then I made it BIGGER.

Why?

Because LOVE HAS NOT BEEN CANCELLED!

I challenge you to join me in sharing LOVE with everyone around us. In simple, yet profound, ways.

Are you up for it? Are you ready to break social media and our communities, and show up and make sure people know that LOVE HAS NOT BEEN CANCELLED?

Here are the act of kindness to SPREAD the LOVE …

[Please make sure to do all of these safely and while practicing social distancing!]:

Share your product or service with a neighbor, friend or business that may need it right now. This is with no strings attached and just to show them you love and appreciate them. (I originally came up with this challenge for my doTERRA team, but this could be fun for any small business owner)
Bake a yummy treat or meal and share it with a neighbor. My family made brownies and put a few on little plates and then ran them to the neighbors' doorsteps, rang the bell and ran away. My kids love doing this! The giggles are contagious!
Send out five handwritten notes to friends and family. Bonus activity if you have kids: let them get creative with the cards - it’s almost Easter!
Make little Easter baskets to leave on doorsteps, or deliver them.
Make a DIY or craft and deliver or mail it.
Send a funny GIF or Bitmoji to some people on your friends list just to say hello. My personal favorite to send is some throw back SheRA!
Create your own ideas and just have fun and SPREAD THE LOVE!
