Kindness is a word people throw out and use in expressions, but taking that into one’s life and living it in practice is not as widespread. We can put on a t-shirt or bumper sticker but holding kindness in living sometimes is not so easy.

I watch as people throw out expression and not think how it will be received. I see hurt and feel someone’s pain and all I want to do is swallow them in a hug, so often it is because of thoughtless words.

Being kind brings so much to your life making an effort to bite the bitter, walk away if needed. Take that breath remember being human means at times having faults so step back and be kind.

When our egos take hold so often we end up sharing all of our own hurts and spreading them to others. Judgments in the end only isolate and are a source of suffering.

Kindness matters especially when genuinely given. We rarely regret being kind. When you realize we all make mistakes you hurt no one. When you are kind you spread joy and potentially make a difference.

Big love today and always
