Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. —Plato

The older I get, the more I know this to be true. Compassion is never wasted, whether it’s compassion for yourself, for others, for animals, or for the environment.

How can you be kinder to yourself today? How can you extend compassion to others? What small step can you take today to make a difference?

Smile at a stranger. Compost. Forgive yourself. Listen to the person in front of you. Send a thank-you note. Bring your own bag. Hold the door open for the person behind you. Ask, “how can I support you?” Use a gentle tone, even when you may not feel it. Recycle, even when inconvenient. Speak using “I” statements. Eat/use fewer animal products. Tote reusable beverage containers. Take a nap.

You make the world a better place, love! It’s an honor to share it with you. Bisous. x
