Hello there!

It’s been quite a few years since this thing happened. This tumblr was previously manashimbirthday, aka the Mana Shim Birthday Project. 

For those of you who are new, in 2014 we put together a birthday book full of birthday messages and fan art for Mana and sent it out to Portland for her. (She still has the book, btw.)

Although her birthday is in September, I thought I’d do something a little special for her this summer. I often tell Mana how special of a person she and how good she is and how much people love her and I know sometimes she doesn’t believe me. I think she’ll need reminding every now and then, and I know people tweet her and message her all the time, but I think it’d be cool to have something like….a jar full of fan “tweets”/notes.

This is where you guys come in!

From now until July 18, you guys can send me a short and sweet message to Mana! It can be anything like how she’s inspired you, how you admire her on the field, or how she’s a positive light in the LGBT community - anything! Now these can’t be too long because I will be putting them on pieces of paper and placing them in a jar, so you get 280 characters (like a tweet - see what I did there?) for your message to Mana.

At the end you can also include your name and your social media handle(s) if you so desire (these don’t count towards your 280 characters).

If you have any questions feel free to check out the FAQ page, message me or email me at [email protected].
