Dear Brit,
Today for some odd-unknown-outrageously-awesome reason you posted a picture of my little girl Pip, with our #differentisbeautiful message to the thousands-of-bazillion-people who follow you...
Within minutes, I was getting flooded with messages from any & everyone who follows Happy Soul Project about what you had done.
I don't think you really understand what you have though.
Not only did you share an important-much-needed message, brought awareness to Down syndrome and got anyone who loves Pip to shoutout and claim it was her.
You gave a tired-weary-starting-to-doubt-what-I'm-even-doing momma a big ol' boost of hope.
Pip will be four tomorrow and she's done more, been through more & inspired more, than most people do their entire lives.
She's literally inspired my everything & because of her I do what I do.
Pip was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, just recovered from her 10th surgery, has Celiac Disease, is usually in bed by 6:30 & I'm just so God-damn-tired that her birthday party will consist of a Costco gluten-free pizza, 4 balloons hung up by our Elf-on-the-shelf and her hometeam singing Happy Birthday as many times as she wants.
And she'll feel loved & she'll be over-the-top happy.
But despite all that, a wee bit of momma guilt will still make an appearance for not throwing her a birthday party.
But despite all that, a wee bit of momma guilt will still make an appearance for not throwing her a birthday party.
So, because the internet is a weird and wild place, you proved that today. I thought what the heck, why not give it a go, can't hurt to ask.
You wanna throw a Pip's 4th Birthday Bash with moi?
Here's the thing. Hear me out.
- #differentisbeautiful: From our annual calendar, to inspiring companies to have inclusion in advertising. From our school presentations or chatting with medical students & doctors to our Ted Talk - We are spreading a message that being YOU is being BEAUTIFUL.
- #BeAwesomeToday:On the 15th of every month we challenge thousands of people around the world to do something awesome for someone else.
- #Kick-It-Capes: Close to 6,000 kids have received a personalized superhero cape to help them get through cancer, a terminal illness or face a vast difference in their lives.
- #SchoolKits: We're launching a school/club/group program about how to live with a Happy Soul. Which engages kids in important life lessons, opportunities to help their communities and teaches confidence in being themselves.
- #PenpalProject: An old-school-paper-and-pen concept linking kids and parents to others in similar situations.
So Brit, how cool would it be to throw a bash that helps our Pip-inspired-Projects soar?
I was thinking all Pip's favorites:
- And since Ellen is pretty much all their BFF's, I guess we should probably invite her too - Hello, #OperationEllenMeetPip
- And then I mean, whomever you wanna rope in too.
Thoughts?
Let's chat.
P.S - If a party isn't your thing. Maybe you could facilitate us pranking Ellen instead. I'd be killer at that Dennis Quaid hidden camera prank kinda thing.
P.P.S - If everyone and their mothers read this and Britney doesn't - Please help instead. You can donate to our Non-Profit Projects HERE!!!
P.P.P.S - Back to Brit again, out of curiosity what in Sweet Jesus moved you to share Pip's photo?

Can't wait to hear her answer.
ReplyDeleteI hope you never feel momma guilt. You do so much not just for Pip but with your non-profit and your blog. You moved me to tears in my office on my break :) I don't even know if this is new or old. However, I want you to know you sound like you are doing an amazing job.
