I am sure you have heard the expression, “a little bit of kindness goes a long way.”  I supposed its a cliché’ for a reason.  Sometimes the simplest acts of kindness–another encouraging bumper sticker, “Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty”– can go a long way in creating a day of beauty for you and another.  It is easy to remember to be kind to others especially if you have been raised in the good girl school of how to be.  After all, good girls are always cordial and respectful and focus on serving others.  Do you hear the sarcastic tone?  Yep, that way of being is something I am very familiar with.  But the kind of kindness of which I am talking about is a kind that originates not from wanting approval for being a good person, but the kind that is an extension of the heart of God within us.  Being cordial to our fellow human beings and to ourselves is not something to check off a list so that we meet some sort of standard, it is a true expression of the love that we are at our core.  My prayer for us today is that we be open to living from our core and practice one random act of kindness-maybe you could start with a simple smile at yourself in the mirror.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
