It all started with what I call my pathetic, stringy-haired night. I was upset, couldn’t sleep, needed
comfort, thought about my college-aged daughter who still cuddled a stuffed dog from her crib and
thought, “That’s what I need!”
In PJ’s, I drove to the all-night drugstore, test-cuddled stuffed animals, bought one, came home, and wrote a letter to my future.
I described my wish and to help it along, listed tasks to start the next day.
I cut a seam in the stuffed dog’s belly, tucked the note, cuddled my hope and… Zzzzzz!
One day, that wish came true and there was someone to thank. So, I handed over the dog with the note,
and that moment led me to you. Today, my wish is that Stuff’n’tuddles help you or someone you love.
Whether it’s for school, a job, creative endeavors; health, family, healing, growth, or love…
Wish, write, plan, tuck and cuddle!
Sweet dreams,
Nancy
