TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE



Hello friends,

Just for today, here's a different approach to our touchstone reflections. Please read the kindness quotes below. Notice what you think and how you feel after each one. If you were going to carry one with you today, like a healing stone, which one would it be? 
  
“Sometimes people don't trust the force of kindness. They think love or compassion or kindness will make you weak and kind of stupid and people will take advantage of you."
                               ~ Sharon Salzberg

"Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness."  
                               ~ George Sand

"A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve."            
                                ~ Joseph Joubert


"Every minute of every hour of every day you are making the world, just as you are making yourself, and you might as well do it with generosity and kindness and style." 
                                ~ Rebecca Solnit


"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again." 
                                 ~ Og Mandino

Before moving on, ask for guidance about kindness in your day. How might you use it? Look for it? Speak of it? Show it to others? Give it to yourself?

May your day be greatly enriched.


With kindness...wisdom too,
Charlene
