Starting From Within
What steps will I take in 2022 to foster kindness and inclusivity? When we get asked questions like this it is our human nature to spout off the response that is expected of us, the response that will shine the best light upon our faces. Because, after all, we all want to be included. We all want to be accepted and liked by our peers, our neighbors, our family. And not only that, deep down, we all know that it feels good to do for others. It feels good to do nice things for other people. Immediately I began to ponder what nice things I could for other people. Smile at a stranger. Feed the neighborhood cats. Go out of my way to acknowledge someone that others ignore because of their appearance. Give a large tip to the diner waitress whom I know is living paycheck to paycheck. Volunteer my time to mentor young children. Offer healing sessions for free. These are all things I do or have done, so if I vowed to do these things in the months to come, they would not be empty promises.
