NATIONAL SHUT-UP & LOVE DAY
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SHUT-UP & LOVE?
In a world where bad news, division, destruction and chaos seem to get the most attention, we are on a mission to get 1000 people and companies to make a pledge to SHUT-UP & LOVE on November 22. The idea is to shut-up and pledge an intentional act of kindness, and do something for someone that they can't do themselves. Aka, less talk, more action! Talk is cheap. The world doesn't change for the better until we decide that we have the power to make a difference AND THEN actually go out and be the answer to the problems around us!
WHY DID WE START
NATIONAL SHUT-UP & LOVE DAY?
Cindy Conner was a world changer who left us too soon. Her love, faith and famous "Cindy wisdom" left an indelible mark on anyone lucky enough to know her. The news of her unexpected passing rocked our community and left a hole in our hearts.
Cindy understood the priceless art of being present.
She would drop anything at any time to help a loved one or even a stranger off the street.
She had the most welcoming spirit and her kitchen table was a place of refuge for so many going through crisis.
Her faith fueled her ability to love anyone from any background and any belief system. She used to say winning over the grouchy ones was her favorite thing to do! She had an incredible ability to forgive and see the gold in people, and she was full of wisdom, whether you wanted to hear it or not.
Her favorite advice, no matter how she said it, was to:
SHUT-UP & LOVE.
November 22 is her birthday. As a way to honor her and the legacy of love she built we have created NATIONAL SHUT-UP & LOVE DAY. This is a day when we can intentionally choose to see the best in others, to make healing and forgiveness a priority, to return rudeness with kindness, to choose to be present with the people in front of us and to give our love without reservation.
Join us as we band together to change the world, each in our own small way, as a way to honor a woman who changed so many lives! Choose from the list below or come up with your own way and share it with us! Either way... we're challenging you to TAKE THE PLEDGE and SHUT-UP & LOVE!
