"Remember that everyone you meet 

is afraid of something,
loves something,

and has lost something."
- H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

We're all much more alike than we are different.

We all have the need to feel safe. We need air to breathe, water to drink, food to eat, and a place to sleep and and be renewed. We need acceptance, approval, and to be loved. 

We've all been hurt, deeply at one time. Perhaps many times.

Instead of judging one another, instead of fearing others, we have it within us to love others, to feel for others. All others.

We'll all be safer, healthier, and happier when we do. 

Today's let's live by the Golden Rule. Simply, mindfully, gratefully, and lovingly. 

Life is good.

Truly,
Charlene
