I feel it is always important, but especially now,  to engage everyday in the act of offering kindness. We should take the time to stop and offer our caring, be it to man or animal. We all need to feel loved and cared about and a small outpouring of concern to another can mean so much. It takes such little effort to reach out to another and the rewards are so great! Not only do you bring a smile or a purr to somebody elses life but you bring joy to your own life as well. Once you stop and make the effort you will find you want to do it again and yet again. It is a gratifying feeling to make another person smile, to change their day from being unhappy to feeling good and all it takes is giving them a moment of your time. These small acts have huge consequences and when the majority of humanity is partaking in such acts, the world changes!

Giving kindness to others softens us and smooths us around our once sharp edges. Often when we partake in kindness we do so with gentleness. The more we give kindness to others with gentleness, the more we become like stones in a tumbler machine or a well smoothed piece of sea glass that gets washed upon the beach. Having soft edges makes us more hugable and easy to like. Soft edges in a person makes them more able to attract others to them, they are more welcoming to be around. Now is a good time to practice softening our edges, living from our hearts help us to do this as well. Lets face it, when we walk into a roomful of strangers we are automatically attracted to the bubbly, happy person who seems approachable and welcomes us in, but it is the kind person who comes over and talks to you because you are alone and don’t know anybody that makes the greatest impression. Being kind and gentle is a wonderful way to be.

We know, I assume, that we all want kindness and gentleness in our new world. As with everything we wish to manifest, we must be what it is we desire. In this case we must be kind and gentle. Consumerism and getting ahead in the world hardened our edges and left us dangerously sharp to be around.Our sharp and hardened edges pushed others away from us and helped to separate us all into our own little compartments and divided the world. Now, we know, is the time of returning to oneness and so we must soften ourselves and open our arms and hearts and welcome each other in. The new world is in the making!

Blessings to us all,
