Holy Cow!
It Worked!
I have asked my children to tell me what they have learned for many, many years. Each Mother’s Day I ask for my list; and when it comes I am always delighted and surprised. I want other parents to have this experience. And other adults who have taken the time to love a child whether or not he or she was their own. This a global movement called Ask + Tell.
I believe in saying
Thank You.
Thank You.
Let’s tell our Parents and Grandparents…
- All ages of children telling their parents each and every year what their life lessons have meant.
- Asking and Telling to becoming part of the family fabric and weave a tapestry of appreciation between the child, young adult, grown adult and the parents or grandparents who raise them.
- Lists of “What I learned from you” in family albums and framed and hanging on the walls of thousands of homes.
- Parents pulling these lists out of their drawers after the children fly from the nest and to find comfort and solace in knowing they raised successful and loved children.
Let’s tell our Teachers…
- Children of all grades to telling their hard working-dedicated teachers what they have learned.
- Teachers reading the lists long after their students have graduated and become meaningful citizens of the world.
- Teachers knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that they played a vital role.
Let’s tell Every Important Person in our lives…
- All pivotal, vital, important relationships to have a live wire of love flowing back and forth.
- Relationships having an open and humorous and grateful line of communication.
- Aunts and uncles and grandparents and big brothers and big sisters asking for a list.
Ask + Tell is being translated into many languages.
It is a Global Movement.
It is a Global Movement.
The lists that are shared back will be curated and shared without global audience. Thousands of inspired lessons will spark both child and adults to open the channels of gratitude in their home and schools.
Lives will be changed, love will be shared, hearts will be opened, millions and millions…….
