Sometimes the smallest things can make a difference. Sometimes those small things might be peanuts. Literally.

Last week I showed how to make secret peanut messages. This week I decided to spread some peanut love around my neighborhood.

Although I don’t have the illusion that my action will change lives drastically, I do strongly believe that we have the power to make small positive differences in our direct environment. These gestures of love might evoke the effect we hope for, they might not do anything. Either way, we can choose every day to love without expecting anything in return. Sometimes it concerns family, sometimes friends, sometimes people we don’t even like, sometimes strangers. We have the choice to act in a loving way, always.
Love is bigger than saying something nice to somebody we like. Love can be so powerful there where it isn’t expected. And sometimes all we need is some peanuts, paper and a pen and stroll around the block.

    You are such a wonderful human being. You are so right about loving without expecting anything in return. I know that if I were to happen upon one of these little peanuts it would make my day and definitely influence my mood in a positive way. You are doing lovely work in your every day.

    You’re so awesome! Like Boring Borup–I am always inspired by these kinds of actions. And I believe that everything happens for a reason; and that each of these peanuts will end up in the hands of the people who need these messages at that moment. It’s people like you who make the world a wonderful place : ]

      Yeah I love Boring Borup; you also know colormekatie? love her blog too, kinda similar filled with positive and happy pictures and kind gestures. And I really do hope the peanuts end up by the right people; those who just needed to hear something like that..

    You are so cool!
    This is such an awesome idea, and so inspiring.

    I remember I used to leave little positive notes in random areas… glamor bombing is so much fun!

      Thank you! I try to catch up with my readers as much as possible, but only truly follow a very limited amount of blogs to keep things from being overwhelming ;)

    This is such a lovely fun idea! I’d kind of want to hide in the bushes and wait to see the persons reaction that found it though!

      They are somewhat like fortune cookies, aren’t they? Fortune peanuts – that sounds fun ;)
