In honor of Love Remembers Day, I am participating in the Love Remember’s Day (LRD) Compassion games, which has started and ends March 27th, 2016. I am asking you to join my team by performing one simple, kind act of compassion. This activity falls in line beautifully with the All in Compassion for Anaphylaxis Community Project Initiatives platform kicked off by LRD.
- We ARE NOT raising money.
- It is free to play.
- We are raising awareness
- We are showing our compassion for those who support us in big and small ways to make our life threatening food allergy lives better.
How you ask? It is simple:
Please thank someone who has made things better by either by asking about an allergen, for learning how to use your EpiPen®, for including your child in a celebration or activity, etc. Or thank a stranger for producing a product or food that keeps you or your family safe. Maybe it is a large company or the restaurant down the street?
For example: Thank your favorite cookie maker for making your favorite product treat by posting your love on social media or drop them a note. Thank Grandma for NOT baking and asking you to bake for the Holidays. Thank a friend who talked you off the ledge one day when a teacher did not follow protocol and you wanted to go off on them. Get it? Big or small, it all matters.
The Gratefulfoodie team is all about gratitude this weekend as we participate in Love Remember’s Day 2016.

One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
