31-Days of Kindness: Day 23

31-Days of Kindness with Katherine
“What if you knew that the next person you’d see would be the last person you
    would ever see? You’d be right there soaking it in, experiencing it. It wouldn’t
  matter what they were saying; you’d just enjoy hearing the words because it
  would be the last conversation you’d ever have. What if you brought that kind of 
  awareness to every conversation? That’s what happens when you’re told that
    death is around the corner: you change, life doesn’t change.” ~ Michael A. Singer 

Listen with kind attention today. Soak it all in. Don’t allow yourself to miss out on the life and love that is right there in front of you.

31-Days of Kindness: Day 21

To know the dark
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.
~ Wendell Berry

It’s the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere! Eat dinner by candlelight to celebrate. Reflect upon the kindness of the sun, earth and all human beings who played a part in the food on your table. Over dinner reflect on the difficulties you have experienced in the last year and how it has or might bring you toward a new dawning and personal growth.

“Hello, sun in my face. Hello you who made the morning and spread it over the
  fields…Watch, now, how I start the day in happiness, in kindness.” ~ Mary Oliver

Write a positive review (or many) for a product or service you think is great. If you can’t think of any, go through your calendar and have a look at the appointments you’ve had this month to trigger ideas about standout interactions you’ve had recently.

“Accept everything about yourself – I mean everything. You are you and that is
the beginning and the end – no apologies, no regrets.” – Clark Moustakas

The inner-looking available within a yoga and meditation practice is a step toward self-acceptance; a way to create room for self-kindness and eventually self-love. Isn’t that the true super-power in knowing how to accept outer differences, to act kindly and to deeply love others and the world?

Here is today’s home practice.

Everywhere you go, leave a glitter trail of kindness behind you. ~ Unknown

Tonight enjoy a seasonal light show near you. If you live in the Guelph area, Sparkles in the Park is open. Head to a drive-through first for a hot chocolate and consider paying for the person behind you. Then….think about having a look at the best and the brightest lights around town. Again, if you live in Guelph check out this map that has marked all the houses that aren’t to be missed this year 🙂
