When is the last time you told a friend that s/he was amazing?
Kim McGregor lost her friend, Erika Heller, in 2009, because of colon cancer. Kim misses Erika for all sorts of wonderful reasons, one of which is that Erika ended their converstaions with the words, “I think you’re amazing because…”
As a tribute to Erika, she started a campaign that accepts donations to “Look Good Feel Better” campaign that helps those on the cancer journey to feel radiant and beautiful, even at a difficult time in their lives. More than that, she started a website that allows you a chance to say “I believe she’s amazing” to your mom, grandma, friend, teacher, nurse, wife, or mentor. Her goal…to have a million people tell a million women that they are amazing. Isn’t that a cool ambition.
To launch the campaign, she organized a flash mob to do a dance in a mall. It’s fun, uplifting, and reminds us all to tell those we care about that we admire who they are, and make a point to letting them know.

I was visiting a friend today whose father recently passed away. She spoke of relatives realizing that the window to enjoy and celebrate the relationship was gone. Seize the moment…tell someone in your life today that you find them awesome…and explain why. You’ll make their day.
