March 31st is the anniversary of a "To Write Love On Her Arms" shirt being worn for the first time (by a member of the band Switchfoot). Although I'm too cheap to buy a shirt (one day I'll have the money to spare), I did honor the day by writing the word "Love" on my arm. Some may remember my beautifully decorated arms from a couple years ago, when for "TWLOHA" day I had a bunch of my friends write the word "love" in any language that they knew. I had German, English, sign language, Bulgarian, French, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese and a couple others that I can't remember off the top of my head. This year it was simple, small, and not very noticeable, but it reminded me about the cause.
The TWLOHA Mission statement:
To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery.
