"The Owl Movement And What We Are About"

Thank you for taking the time to see what “The Owl Movement” is all about.

Also, feel free to get an idea of what an Owl-ling looks like by visiting "Give A Hoot" or follow us on Twitter and become an Owl yourself at "The Owl Movement"

 Not too long ago I found some random “Thank You” cards laying around the house and I had an urge to get back to basic communication by putting pen to paper.  Only having close friends and family members to mail to I felt odd in sending someone I see every day a card.  I also did not have much to say.

I then decided to just start writing as if I was writing a friend in another country that is doing well in life with a family and successful career. I kept it all very general and added a few of my own personal quotes and real life encouragements. To cover up the “Best Friends Forever” type inside the card I found a few cartoon owl stickers in a kitchen drawer. I placed one over the price on the back of the card as well and decided to give a trite pun caption from the Owl saying ” Hooo Sent This?” I then thought why not enclose another card with three more stickers and write below the owl “Your Turn”. So I did and then I sealed the card up.  Next I had to find someone to mail the card to and so I consulted the internet. I typed in the name Rachel (after my little sister that passed away not too long ago) and then just picked a last name.

I filled the card out to the address and wanted to remain anonymous but not in a creepy way. So, in the return section I wrote…

The Owls

222 Treetops Way

Savannah, Ga

Once again all random.

I can’t even tell count how many of these cards I have sent out. There is no way of knowing how many sent cards after me and so on.  Its fun and feels awesome just sending good thoughts to strangers in the world that could be having a bad day. I know I cheer up anytime I get any card in the mail, let alone one full of praises.

I simply want your help in making this movement so much greater than what it is so far.

I am one man with a few friends trying to be apart of something more in this world.

I welcome any suggestions and any advice on growing this movement.

Eventually I want people posting pictures if they get Owled.
