Give Sunday | 01
Tags:
This year, in honor of my One Little Word® "give," I'm planning to share a hand-drawn quote each Sunday here on my blog.
It will be words that inspire me, many of which will likely come from my "Words" board on Pinterest.
I hope these words will also inspire you in one way or another and you will be encouraged to look at the ways you and your family give to yourselves, to each other, and to the world.
To help you start thinking about ways to give I designed a #givesunday word art set with a checklist. It includes a 4x6 card, the title and the checklist (because, you know, we document).

Click here to download the #givesunday word art.
And here's the quote for this week (if anyone has a source for this quote I'd love to know - it was listed as "unknown" on Pinterest):
Updated with attribution: Looks like this is a mash-up of a couple quotes from Ritu Ghatourey and Brigitte Nicole (via this pin - thanks Liz for locating that)

You're invited to join me. What will you give today?
Have a wonderful Sunday.

I give thanks to you for enriching my life. I love quotes and words. I was going to print these but when I downloaded them they weren't available in a pdf format. Would you consider making them in a pdf version. Thanks.

Thank you for the great word art. I found two sites that identified the author as Ritu Ghatourey.

Thank you so much for these gorgeous files!
Yesterday, I gave (or tried to, at least) my patience. I wasn't feeling the best and neither was my son and that always leads to disagreements. But we tried. ;)

Oh dear Ali. Love these words! I also want to thank you as I went to a book signing tonight with a Canadian musician and instead of being at a loss for words because of nerves, I remembered what you said in the airport with Ethan Hawke. So after seeing David Usher being interviewed at a Writer's Festival for his book on Creativity, I confidently said "thank you for sharing your gift" as you did. He smiled and said thank you and it felt genuine as he signed our books and took a photo with about 200 people. Thank you Ali for all you do :)

Dear Ali,
Just 3 weeks after the terrorist attacks in Paris, you do not know how much this resonates with me! THANK YOU!

Hi Ali,
I just found these 'give Sunday' sayings. They are fabulous. I want to comment on this first one because at this time in my life it speaks loudly to me. I've lost two of the most important people to me in the past year and a half - my Mom and Dad. This holiday season is proving to be very difficult for me. Much more so than I thought. Your kindness and your words help. Thanks for being you and sharing who you are with us!
