Here is a favorite quote that sums up my thoughts for the day:
"If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things that you lack. If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it's not enough." ~ Ann Landers
We each of us has the ability to share love abundantly. When we act in love and with love it's like oiling the Tin Man, what was frozen comes back to life. Be extravagant with love! Let today be the start of a year in which we lavish love on everyone, perhaps especially those folks that we feel least inclined to share it with.
I have learned by watching my friend Scott, who has a gift for connecting with people, that prickly people often just need a little extra kindness and love to open up. Now when I meet those folks I think of an artichoke and how in all those thick spiky outer leaves lies a tender heart to be discovered and I remind myself to give a little more.
"Kindness in the world creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love." ~ Lao Tsu
Sending you much kindness and love,
Karen
