A seated statue rests in a contemplative pose. Soft light falls across the figure. Over the image is a quote attributed to Oscar Wilde about people being like books, some deceiving with their covers and others surprising with their content.
Wishing you all a gentle Valentine's Day -
hoping your heart feels peaceful today.💗

Sometimes good news is laughing at someone's imperfect joke because their attempt at joy deserves your kindness. (Proverbs 17:22)

Power has been out for several hours. But the other side of the street has power.
It’s a double whammy. Seeing the lights across the street when you have none.
On the plus side, wonderful neighbours across the street have offered food, tea and refreshments.
#SmallKindnesses are best.

I love this poem by by Danusha Laméris, I believe it perfectly captures what so many of us are going through and feeling now, however in addition, it feel it is true for all time. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do, it has become my 'Mantra' ~ ❤️
Small Kindnesses by Danusha Laméris I've been thinking about the way, when you walk down a crowded aisle, people pull in their legs to let you by. Or how strangers still say 'bless you' when someone sneezes, a leftover from the Bubonic plague. 'Don't die,' we are saying. And sometimes, when you spill lemons from your grocery bag, someone else will help you pick them up. Mostly, we don't want to harm each other. We want to be handed our cup of coffee hot, and to say thank you to the person handing it. To smile at them and for them to smile back. For the waitress to call us honey when she sets down the bowl of clam chowder, and for the driver in the red pick-up truck to let us pass. We have so little of each other, now. So far from tribe and fire. Only these brief moments of exchange. What if they are the true dwelling of the holy, these fleeting temples we make together when we say, ‘Here have my seat,' 'Go ahead—you first,' 'I like your hat.'
I’m a counselor & coach. I read poetry on Fridays to help us let go of the week & relax into the weekend. Otherwise, I help people achieve goals, create meaning, heal, & find balance.

I looked up at this sweet face framed by a mop of brown hair and into earnest, twinkling green eyes, and said, “Thank you! That’s very kind. What’s your name?”
He has the same name as my son, which warmed my already grateful mama Bear heart.

A Gen Z kiddo stopped me at Target while I was trying to pick out a notebook to tell me that she loved my outfit. Totally tickled pink. #smallkindnesses
When someone knows you’ve had a rough few days & leaves this in your mailbox to brighten your day. #smallkindnesses
