QUEUE THE CHORUS: "It's the most, wonderful time of the year...." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And... it's (or can be) the most stressful, exciting, hectic, emotional, fantastic, dreaded, (pick an adjective) time of the year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Like Glennon Doyle Melton said, it's simply the MOST time of the year. Everything is the MOST - family, social engagements, finances...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If this is the MOST time of the year, then let's "MOST" it to it's fullest in the easiest way imaginable. Let's be the MOST love we can be - for others and ourselves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everyone's running around trying to find the perfect gift for everyone (What the hell does Uncle Joe even need?!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if the perfect gift is easy... and free?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The truth is, right now - no matter if someone is having the best year of their life, or the worst. EVERYONE could use a little love. It's the perfect gift - something everyone wants, everyone needs, and it doesn't cost a thing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So this year for the holidays, how about sending everyone you know a little... LOVE? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The beautiful part is... when you send that love to others, that's exactly what you get back in return.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sending love to you and everyone you know... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
XO,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cards4Humanity Team

Cards4Humanity are seeds of kindness that get planted into the lives of others, so why not plant ACTUAL seeds to help humanity's collective home, Planet Earth? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is the question we asked ourselves when thinking about the ways in which Cards4Humanity can change the world AND people's lives - one card at a time... and now one tree at a time too!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We've joined up with One Tree Planted, a non-profit focused on global reforestation. Every Cards4Humanity deck purchased plants a tree to help restore forests after fires and floods, and protect habitat for wildlife.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One Cards4Humanity may not change the entire world, and one tree may not solve the global climate crisis. But when you multiply those one kind acts, and that one tree plated, by many, many, more - true change can happen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(Did we mention that more than 40Million trees have been planted through One Tree Planted so far?!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We're proud to support One Tree Planted and now you will too with every Cards4Humanity deck you buy! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Together we can restore forests, create habitat for biodiversity, and make a positive social impact around the world.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Mo' Money, Mo' Problems... Mo' Kindness, Mo' Happiness? Studies have shown that it's not the accumulation of wealth or material items that makes us happy (although that's what we're all taught to believe because, you know... advertising, consumerism - they need SOMEONE to buy all those things, right?)

Human kindness and connection is actually what we're longing for - not objects. In fact, studies show that we are happier when we GIVE things away. That's because giving of ourselves to others connects us to them, and that makes us feel like a million bucks.

So for this holiday season, think of what you can GIVE to others. This is, in fact, what the season - and our lives - is really about. And if you want to go that extra step, consider giving Cards4Humanity to someone. You'll be giving them the gift of GIVING, and experiencing all the joy and happiness that brings!

Leaving a at may not change someone's life... but then again, who's to say...?

We never know how our actions affect others. All we know is that our actions DO affect others. When we do something kind, even if it's as small as leaving a simple encouraging message for a total stranger, has the power to turn around their day - maybe even their life.

For whoever found this Cards4Humanity - I hope this card and this message positively changed your day. Thank you for passing along the card and leaving your message - know that your actions matter and maybe you'll be changing the days - or lives - of those you pass this card along to as well!
