love_everybody

It dawned on me that A LOT of you don't know what started this. This should help: I have a story to share. I was going to pretty much keep it to myself, but it's just too awesome not to share..... Last Thursday night, after the shootings, I posted "EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY". The very 1st response was, "That's impossible". There was so much hate going on Thursday, that I deleted my Facebook account. I actually had 2 friends, in less than an hour after the shooting wanting to know, "Where's Obama now?" and blaming him for the shootings. Friday morning, I was really depressed. I'm not the depressed type. I was literally crying on the way to my first appointment. I felt compelled to do something, but didn't know what. I got done working at 1:30 on Friday, and what do you know?.....I was about 2 miles from Downtown Dallas. I went to Walmart and bought a poster board and a Sharpie. I made a big poster that said, "EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY". I drove to the crime scene. I was nervous about getting out with my sign, but felt like I had to. I walked around Downtown for 2 1/2 hours. I got hugs, fist bumps, thumbs up, waves, and lots of head nods. I got exactly ZERO negative responses. I was interviewed A LOT! I was in the Sunday papers in Houston, Spain, and DC. I was on the news in Louisiana and in Norway. While it was very somber, I had a GREAT experience. So, why did I decide to go ahead and share? I wanted to do the OPPOSITE of hate. Get out and spread the love. It will change your life. I love everyone of you guys! Turns out....My picture was taken by LOTS of people and went world wide on the AP. NOW...My goal is to have everyone make their own sign AND GET OUT AND BE SEEN. Take pics and post them here. SPREAD THE LOVE!!! Chris Bailey All proceeds will go to charity!!
