Jottings and Journals - Share a Personal Story

Journal Your Thoughts

"All in all, art represents the need of one human being to communicate with another." ~Edvard Munch

Jottings and journals is a page for you to share your personal story regarding an experience with breast cancer, or telling a story of someone you know that is fighting breast cancer. This website is about giving gifts when you don't know someone, random acts of kindness and the power of the written word. Email is so impersonal so sit down, take a moment and journal or jot down your thoughts. Share them with me and I will post them for others to read. You never know when the words you write touch someone in a special supportive way. We aren't alone, let your thoughts and your story help others when they

need it most. Send them to jottings@gift-it-forward.com

I'm so glad you can use the fabric. I find that I'm not keeping a big stash any more, I seem to prefer to purchase for a project, so there may be more on it's way to you and the church ladies. I guess I'm sort of gifting it forward also.

Hope you new year is great, and happy sewing.

Dear Bev,

What a generous and thoughtful idea. I am a breast cancer survivor and a quilter :-) When I read what the money is going for I cried as it is still fresh in my mind. I was fortunate to have 3 wigs, which I donated when my hair grew back but understand there are many women going through what I did that don't have the income to buy even one.

I sent your site info to everyone in my address book and hope you hear from some if not to purchase then to donate for you to sell.

Blessings to you Bev,

Dear Bev

The effort and care that went into the quilted postcard was in such stark contrast to the volumes of "junk mail" that I receive daily, that it made me pause and reflect on times when life was less rushed and stressed. The fabric of the postcard reminded me of my childhood, and I couldn't help but feel love and comfort as I realized the effort put into the special postcard for me. What a beautifully unique way of sharing the small joys in life... Thank you.

Dear Bev

I found your website and I think what you are doing is a fantastic idea. My next door neighbor just had a double mastectomy and her self esteem is really low. Her prognosis is quite optimistic, but she is struggling with emotional issues from the cancer and the mastectomies. I want to help any way I can. Keep up the good work and I love the postcards.
