Another Love Bomb needed! 26/08/10

Yep friends, another LOVE BOMB is needed! A few weeks ago I had the great fortune to find a movement to which the purpose is to “Change The World” by doing weekly missions. Nate over at www.itstartswith.us also started the “Drop a Love Bomb” project. Now Love Bomb is led by the lovely Lauren Lankford! To find out more and to read about our previous missions please visit the Love Bomb site!

Love Bomb is a project of ItStartsWith.Us. Once a week we come together to drop hundreds of love bombs (in the form of blog comments) for those who need it most. Subscribe via email below or follow us on Tumblr, and join us in our missions. It only takes 5 minutes a week!

Now, I’ve teamed up with Love Bomb as a blogger partner and invite you to join us in dropping the Love Bomb’s!

Let me introduce you to Rachel our target!

The mission: Drop as much love on her in the form of  comments as you can!

She lost her dad and ever since has dealt with eating disorders, and is struggling through life without him. Her mom avoids serious conversations with her and she is afraid to get help. She’s in counseling, which is wonderful -  but we all know how irreplaceable personal words of encouragement are.

In one of her recent posts, she bullet-pointed a list of things she had to show for nearly being 18:

- I drink too much
- I have social anxiety
- I’m failing school
- I’m ugly
- I’m fat
- I can’t even get the courage to meet my own sister
- I lack the energy to even fake happiness
- I have recurring thoughts of self-harm
- I keep relapsing into “disordered eating behaviours”

In her last post, the one we’ll be commenting on, she ends with,

“What I need is some inspiration. I need someone I admire to tell me every thing’s going to be alright. That they believe in me. That I’m not the fat failure I think I am. – unfortunately I can’t see that happening any time before it’s too late, if it’s not already too late.”

Alright guys. You know what to do. We ARE Rachel’s inspiration, encouragement, love, and support.  It’s time to tell her how beautiful and valuable she is. I want to blow her away.
