ribbons for a healthy smile
Thalia cuts, ties, and distributes. “A no-work-needed vihhhh-sit!”
“Amen.” Nia replaces their old toothbrush with new.
Cal puts their gifts — a tube of travel size paste and a teeny-tiny floss dispenser — into their travel bag. “Whew!”
You don’t realize the power of a radiant smile until it’s the only sunshine in the room.

True power does not need arrogance, a long beard and a barking voice. True power strangles you with silk ribbons, charm and intelligence.

A note from LoveLetterist:
I slid into the chair and said to the hygienist, "I'm sure I'm not the first to tell you this is not my favorite place to be. That said... on the drive over I decided to focus on what I like about being here. It's you! I love hearing about your family. Tell me what's happening with your boys."
I cringed at first on seeing the ribbons! Imagining you asking the hygienist to tie them to your front teeth after the final touch!
Does your dentist always check after the hygienist wraps up? Are X-Rays part of the cleaning package? Are you relaxticated now? (Tal told me to ask you)
The details in your LoveLetter suggest that you conjured a package of acceptance mixed with hope and a sense of humor, colored with loving kindness!
Well done! Now on to the business of living and creatorcation. 🪄🪄
