Mission #59 ODE (OWED) TO OUR FRIENDS

This week’s mission begins here...

So now that you’ve viewed, I have two questions for you:

a) Isn’t friendship, like, the best invention ever?

b) Who is the “Charise” in your life?

I now invite you to honor/celebrate a cherished friend(s) by writing him/her a short “ode” in the comment section below. And by ode I mean any form of expression that feels heartfelt and easy enough to do in the confines of our designated digital space. It could be a sentence...a short poem...a link to a photo...a simple inside-joke message...you name it.

I will then take each “ode” and put them together in one big video ode a la mode. In other words, I’ll craft a video comprised of all your friendship shout-outs, and then you all can surprise your buddies with it.

I’ll need your mini odes by Wednesday 5pm CST.

Then return to this very spot on Thursday afternoon, with your friend(s) in hand, to share the video gift together.

*QUICK RECAP*

SUBMIT FRIENDSHIP ODE in comment section by WEDNESDAY 5PM CST

RETURN THURSDAY ANYTIME AFTER 2PM CST for friendship video gift
