For me, this is a time of year for appreciation.

 

I'm guessing you, like me, appreciate the spring blossoms signaling the joy of a new fresh season. We appreciate rains that cleanse our land and seemingly our hearts, renewing our spirits.

 

April abounds with appreciation for me as I recall my involvement with Operation Babylift and celebrate the son we adopted amidst the chaos. (Yes, 40 years later, we still celebrate his anniversary!) This month I released Chicken Soup for the Adopted Soul; The Joy of Adoption, and my gratitude swells. The last four stories in this amazing book are from Operation Babylift "kids" and families.

 

Lessons from LeAnn

Each time I tell my story, I remind nurses and caregivers (we are all caregivers!) that they don't have to go to Vietnam to make a difference in the world. I honor them...and you...for touching, healing, and blessing lives.

 

During the chaos of Operation Babylift, I was assigned to pack for 300 babies! Imagine how I felt when I walked into a warehouse and saw my own handwriting on a box we had shipped from my basement months before!

 

It's unlikely that you will be asked to fly to a war zone, or that you will see your handwriting on a box in a third world country, but remember...you rescue people every day with what you do. Thank you.

 

May this springtime make your heart blossom with joy and renew your spirit! You deserve it.
