In a world where you can be anything…

Be kind.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

When she began to cry, i realized something profound

Catholic Mass
It’s been 15 years since i sat front and center.

 

After 8:45am Mass, i randomly crossed paths with her and said, “Grace, your reading today stirred my soul. Being a reader myself, it is ridiculously easy to rush through a long reading. You did not. i closed my eyes and let God’s Holy words wash over me.”

When she began to cry, i realized something profound. Small acts of kindness have the power to move people.

Unnecessary kindness

What is unnecessary kindness?

As adults, we are gifted with the opportunity to be role models every moment of every day.

We can deliver unnecessary kindness as often as we want.

Unnecessary kindness is kindness that if not delivered is not missed.

But we’re adults.

We have endless and daily time pressures, deadlines, responsibilities, etc.

But we can still be “on” all the time.

Zealous?

Maybe zealous, but it will never be considered being on auto-pilot. Ever.

An epiphany last night. Realizing that the way we handle major life milestones may be more important than the outcome itself.

A cookie cutter approach to kindness?

Dalai Lama
Compassion, kindness, love, etc.

 

Funny thing about kindness, it’s one size fits all – whether you’re giving it or receiving it.

No matter how big or how small.

It’s perfect.
