MISSION: You’re Invited

Being with people is my favorite thing in the world.  Hands down.  Connecting and sharing life with those around me?  Best. Thing. Ever.   So Affiliated Agent K’s Pittsburgh mission to celebrate and encourage togetherness really made me smile.  A girl after my own heart, for sure.

So, recently I’ve been feeling the need to reconnect with old friends and to make new ones. I mean, really, when you feel like you have no one to reach out to, it’s usually your friends or family that come first. I was trying to think of something to do for my first secret mission and I thought that I would make it a little personal! Before work, I scrounged around Borders and found party invitations in the bargain bin and I thought, perfect!

So, I then went over to the card section and found a card that said, “Friends are the Sunshine of Life”. Another perfect.

I bought some pretty paper in my favorite color, teal, nice and cheery, some ribbon and decided that this would be my first mission. To get someone to gather their friends and family together for an evening of beverages or even a pot luck dinner, as long as they were TOGETHER.

I thought of where I could find some lonely people, which could be anywhere, but I had an idea to leave it at the Persad Center waiting room (for those of you not familiar with Persad, it’s a great organization that helps LGBT people with gender identity issues and the works! They are WONDERFUL!). There are people there that could use people to talk to and to be around them for support.

It was hard to drop it off being that it was a waiting room but I waited for everyone to be called into their appointments and walked slyly over to a corner table and left it there to be found. I only hope that someone uses them soon and gets together with old friends and finds some support that they might need!

Affiliated Agent K, I LOVE this mission.  Your thoughtfulness really, really shows just how full of love your heart is.  Thank you for thinking of our neighbors who might feel incredibly alone in our community.
