2020 HEARTLIGHT TREE PROJECT
January 7, 2021, marks the 30th anniversary of the death and transition of our beloved Kevin. As we welcome 2021, we remember our sweet Kevin who continues to inspire us to love deeply and dream big!
The Heartlight Tree will also mark its 30th anniversary in December of 2021. Standing over 30 feet tall, its sturdy trunk and strong branches have held thousands of memories for our bereaved companions across the country.
Each year, I’m inspired to create a way to engage our local community and our online community to honor and celebrate the lives of all our beloved children who have died. In the first two decades, over 400 handmade and personalized ornaments graced its branches. On the 20th anniversary, we installed the giant heartlight decoration as a beacon of love for all our deceased children around the world. In the past few years, we’ve strung colorful, mini flags across the bottom row decorated with your prayers and affirmations. We stand in awe of your willingness to support our bereaved companions with such compassion.
The Heartlight Tree Project: Notes of Faith, Hope & Love for 2020.
So, what do we have in mind for this season? Let’s give 2020 a swift kick to the past and send it on a wing and a prayer with love and gratitude for all we’ve learned and endured! Yep, we’re inviting you to write a Love Note to hang on The Heartlight Tree.
There are two ways you can participate: The first option is a note card titled, “Notes of Faith, Hope and Love”. The content of the Love Note is your choice. It could be an expression of gratitude for _______; an affirmation about ________; a blessing for a loved one________; a prayer for physical, emotional or spiritual healing for ____________; a declaration of love for _______; a pledge for an act of kindness; an offering of forgiveness to________; in memory of _______. You get the idea. We know you’ll step up and surprise us with your ingenuity and grace and bless everyone with your insight and wisdom.

The second option features another Love Note titled, “In Memory of Kevin Blowey”. If you knew Kevin, please share a favorite memory or a story about him. If you’ve read Dreaming Kevin: The Path to Healing tell us how it impacted your life or the life of someone you know. We still enjoy hearing how Kevin’s presence in your life and/or how Dreaming Kevin has inspired you to love deeply and dream big. (read instructions in right-hand column - download template here)
There are no words adequate to express our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to each of you for your love and support during these past 30 years. Please know that each of you hold a special place in our heart forever!
With Love,
The Bloweys ~ Carla, Stann, Amber, (Kevin), Megan & Jason
