"Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who received them, and they bless you, the giver." ~ Barbara de Angelis
If you are reading this in the morning, or if it is midday or evening - no matter the time - right now, consider today's touchstone words from Barbara de Angelis.
Right now, choose to be generously kind to yourself and to all living things. Be gentle with non-living things too. Do all things with a spirit of kindness. Like in the prayer of St. Francis, be an instrument of peace, sowing love wherever you see hate or sadness or fear.
At the end of the day, notice how you feel about yourself and about the world. Be renewed with hope.
Through the gifts of love and compassion,
Charlene
