Blooming Tuesday: Words to live by

This card lives on my bulletin board in my studio. I firmly believe in the message which is so close to my personal motto:

"Nature is my church, kindness is my religion."

(Card by Koco. Art by Janeen K.....the print is too hard to make out.) 

IF : Wise Advice

There are many people out there who don't have anyone. No one to share their stories with. No one to eat dinner with or to sit on the porch steps and chat with. No one to comfort them when they're feeling sad or lonely.

Most times all these folks need is just five minutes of listening with an open heart. Someone to tell them there are better days ahead. Someone to encourage them and show them why it's worth getting out of bed in the morning.

Be that someone. Be inspired to change someone's life with a simple kindness.

Your life will be enriched tenfold.
