I was reading the email that I received from J and Sand the Women of Sedona as I sit here thinking of my baby grandson and still trying to come to terms that that loss.  It made me wonder if I had ever shared any pictures of the women who gathered at my house to make charms or any pics of the charms themselves.

I want you to know that I received pictures of a charm left in Hawaii (and when they went back the next day, it was gone), one in Mexico and one in Albuquerque -- all found within days.   I actually got some pics of a few of them charms that were placed about. 

I am still trying to come to terms with the loss of that sweet baby and find that I had to put aside the charms for awhile in an attempt to try and "move on" --  I am finding, though, that the kindness message has truly touched those involved and those that have found them. 

I give a scholarship in memory of my grandson.  Last year, in with the scholarship certificate, I enclosed a kindness charm. It was displayed at the graduation reception and many people read the story of how we found ours in Sedona.  

Please pass on my greetings and best wishes.  I will try to send you a couple of pics, too. 

Thank you.

I was notified that a charm was placed (and found) in Hawaii, Mexico, and at a county fair here in MN.  A little boy also found a charm on a walking path here in our home town.  His mother--who knew the story of the Women of Sedona and of little Charlie--was able to share that story with her son who chose to take home the charm and keep it on his bulletin board in his bedroom. 

I kind of lost count of the number of charms that we have made, but I would guess it to be well over 200 .   I took pictures of the every one at first, but have not recently done so---I would recognize them, though.
