Introduction

By the time I started secondary school, I had lived in three countries, across two continents, attended five schools, and was onto father number four. Constantly moving, I often felt like an outsider. When we finally settled in the UK, life didn’t get any easier. Over the next three years, I faced bullying, domestic violence, and alcohol and drug abuse.

The Turning Point

Despite these challenges, I remained resilient and tenacious, determined not to let my trauma define my future. However, at 43, my past caught up with me. Experiencing burnout and severe anxiety, I realised that sometimes it’s the small things that make the biggest difference.

During my recovery, I began writing on sticky notes and posting them around my home. These notes, filled with messages of courage, worth, abundance, and love, became little love notes to myself, reminding me of my strength and value.

The Vision

I know they worked because my husband, seeing a love note, would ask, “Are you abundant today?” and I would reply, “Yes.” Even when I didn’t feel particularly abundant or confident or worthy, saying “yes” made it a little truer. Now, I want to share these special post-it love notes with others facing their trauma.

The Project

Our project aims to create and distribute 500 post-it love notes to individuals who need encouragement and positivity. Unlike stickers, post-it notes don’t leave a mess and can be moved to wherever they make the biggest impact.

Funding Goals

The funds raised will cover the printing and postage of these notes. This is a non-profit initiative; any additional funds will be used to produce more notes, with the hope of donating them to organisations supporting trauma survivors.

Call to Action

Whether or not we’ve personally experienced trauma, we all know someone who could benefit from a love note. Join us in spreading love and resilience by supporting our project and sharing it with others.

Gratitude

Thank you for considering our project. Your support will help bring hope and healing to many.
