The
Just Plain Love™
Story

"Experiencing a pediatric intensive care, oncology, burn or
trauma unit to me, is a heart wrenching jolt
to anyone's world. I had to summon all my
"heart" to handle the various states of
disrupted life. Right then and there I
decided that a positive Light needed to
shine on the hearts and minds of these struggling
little souls, so new to earth and so old to
the diseases, health issues and medical
conditions whose very
procedures and treatments ravaged their
young bodies.
I decided that I was going to find a way
to offer a "positive spin" on all of the
health issue negatives and to create a
portal of communication, a treasure of heart
warming and reassuring perspectives to those
"hands off" subjects and to provoke a
muffled laugh, instigate a tiny smile,
mischievous giggle or just an
environmental change and safe place for
even a
brief moment that would add a sparkle to a
weary eye.
AND I was going to give a comforting and
supportive symbolic "hug" to each patient
and reader by filling them with a sense of
pride in themselves for having endured their
own health battle and surrounding issues.
Additionally I would
provide a tangible and permanent way to
honor and celebrate their courage! I was
unable to have children, so this is my way
of giving back.
