No kind action ever stops with itself.
–Amelia Earhart
One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed.
A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.
The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.
In the beginning of November I am usually busy cutting and folding and taping tiny messages to fit into small envelopes that I hand out in yoga classes the last week of the month. There are 31 messages; one for each day in December. Some are quotes about kindness and gratitude and others are invitations to kind acts. The envelopes take a lot of time but I love creating them. I haven’t tired of it over the years. I enjoy creating a fresh take on what to include in the envelopes, I cherish the time I spend with those who agree to help and I love, love, love handing them out.
This year will be different. I won’t be handing out envelopes but I still hope, as a community, we will use the month of December as a way to spread kindness. This week I will create the prompts that I will send out each day in December to be shared on this blog so that each one of us can ‘throw out roots in all directions’ and see what new trees spring forth in 2021.
Send me any suggestions through the blog or email me directly.
Much love…happy snowy November 2 🙂
