Conversations surrounding mental health struggles mid-pandemic inspired Emily-Sue Snyder to spread the colorful, positive messages, such as “hey, you’re doing a great job!” or “you are loved.”
Barbara Jean, a family matriarch in Jamul, California, reacts to learning that she and her newborn great-granddaughter share the same middle name.A simple message has helped carry Emily-Sue Snyder, 32, out of her darkest hours, including homelessness, domestic violence and a suicide attempt.Snyder, a hairstylist and mother of two young sons living in Tulsa, Oklahoma, makes it her daily mission to remind others of their value.
"You're always enough; it doesn't matter if you're at your lowest point," Snyder told USA TODAY. "You're still enough to be worthy.” Nearly a decade after trying to take her own life, she began leaving anonymous, handwritten business card-size motivational notes in random gas stations, grocery stores – “pretty much anywhere I went,” she said.
Conversations surrounding mental health struggles mid-pandemic inspired her to spread the colorful, positive messages, such as “hey, you’re doing a great job!” or “you are loved.”People would share the cards online as they found them. It warmed Snyder’s heart, she said. Her efforts to spread kindness – and the size of her cards – grew in March of 2021, when Snyder donned a red costume cape during rush hour in the middle of Sapulpa, Oklahoma. She stood on a corner alone for two hours holding a large, bright-green poster that read “you are enough.” “The thing that really got me was the teenagers and kids that rolled down their windows to tell me they love me,” Snyder recalled.
