From the deepest depths of my heart and soul, I thank you….. Thank you for making me feel appreciated, and loved. Your note mattered so much to me, and I’m eternally grateful to come to know someone as wonderful as you… You’ve got an awesome aura, an aura of peace, an aura of love. You are one of the kindest, most caring people I have ever met. You give of yourself without expecting anything in return. I hope you recognize how amazing you are.

Thank you so much for the beautiful card and your message… I can honestly say, I understand how you are feeling. Everyone says “Time heals all wounds”, and I’m not sure how much I believe that… while time may not always heal, it allows us to put a band aid over that hole left by the one’s we cherish. Winter is a tough time… wake up and it’s dark and leave work it’s dark !! No matter how many winters I’ve been through, I still don’t think I’ll ever get used to it…I prefer a nice crisp fall.

Thank you for all the goodies !! My nieces were with me and I let them open it with me, and the excitement and joy with each thing they opened was literally another beautiful gift you gave me without knowing…. and I thank you so much for that. It gave me the chance to share who you are, and how wonderful kindness can make someone feel special.

The chocolate, was thoroughly enjoyed by my nieces and myself, after their parents went to bed (which wasn’t exactly very responsible of me, but they promised to brush their teeth… after watching a movie, a pillow fight, running around the kitchen island, I somehow managed to get them to finally fall asleep. The pens, the Washi tape are soo cute !! I loved them and can’t wait to use them !! I love the sticky notes !! Confession : I’ve always had an addiction to cute stationary !!

The beautiful trinket box was perfect !! I had some special Sindhoor from a temple of a Goddess from my home town in India… a Goddess I have a lot of faith in, so the sindhoor is in your beautiful box for me to use everyday.

The face mask was exactly what my dehydrated, sun exposed skin was craving, so thank you.

The wood block with the original art and the quote really touched my heart… and is something I really believe in… I firmly believe friends don’t grow on trees! I can consider myself to be a lucky person, for I have found in your heart a generous forest of good feelings, and am inspired by your affection and friendship.

The 2 cards are also so beautiful… I really love them a lot !! The origami heart was adorable… as a kid I could never even make those paper things with a number, color and then you lift a corner and read the fortune… I don’t know if I’m explaining it right… they weren’t cootie catchers… hmm 🤔 so I always love origami

The bookmark is so cute !! I love to read… I was one of those weird kids my mum had to take my books away and push me to play with the neighborhood kids, and my sister had to be dragged indoors to read !! She somehow managed to leave her entire summer reading books on the plane on our way to India… but books have always been my refuge. So, the bookmark promptly went to hold my place on the book I’m currently reading.

I loved the RUMI quote… I have always loved RUMI, and have saved quite a few of his quotes.

I also would like to express how thoughtful your holiday card with the chocolate and ornaments. I absolutely adore the stand up card with the Christmas scene and the card with the Tree and gemstones… it really is so beautiful, and perfect amount of bling bling !! The Rilakuma planner was crazy cute and my niece made me promise to give it to her when I’m done, which I’m still trying to work out in my head what she will do with it next year.

Thank you… 2 words simply can’t be enough to express everything I am feeling ❤️
