💖 Reach Out and TOUCH! 💖

🌞This summer, I was relaxing in the courtyard next to @CousenRose Gallery in Oak Bluffs and a multigenerational family joined me as they waited for the 2 adult cousins and their children to come out of the gallery. 
🌈Imagine my delight when the 8yr old boy and girl cousins emerged spilling over with excitement at their purchases- the latest Dr. Dee Dee Dynamo book!!!!
📚After they had settled, I calmly introduced myself as the author of the Dr. Dee Dee Dynamo Book Series and the fireworks went off🎇
🤗Abi could not stop hugging me while declaring that it was “The best day of his life”💕🌺🥳

😇I had touched him with my writing.
😇 He touched my heart with his affirmation and excitement about my work. 
😇His hugs melted my heart and filled me with joy.
😇 My return hugs validated him and constructed a beautiful bridge between the awe and wonder of the Dr. Dee Dee world and the reality of being able to pursue your dreams and live a life without limits🙏🏾

💻In a world often governed by screens and distances, the power of touch remains profound. It's a force that has the potential to change lives, heal wounds, and create connections that transcend differences🌟

🌺Touch in its many forms
✋🏾 Healing Touch⚕
A hug, a handshake, or a gentle pat on the back can convey emotions and support in ways words cannot.

📝 Words as Touch 📝 
Our words, written and spoken, and stories shared are a form of touch that can uplift, inspire, and heal.

🌼 Acts of Kindness 🌼 
Small acts of kindness are like gentle touches on the heart. They show care, compassion, and love, reminding us of the beauty in humanity.

⏸ Take a Pause to Reach Out and Touch someone including yourself. Remember the times when a hug, a kind message, or a simple act of goodwill made a significant impact. Embrace the power of touch in all its forms, for it has the potential to change lives and create a world filled with empathy and connection. 💖🌼👐
