Kindness Matters

Whenever you have the chance
to be the light
in someone's life,
be it.

Smile.

Huge.

Greet.

Compliment.

Listen.

Love.

Sometimes, 

you save someone's day.

Sometimes,

you save someone's life.

You rarely know

the good you do

with simple niceties.

Your kindness matters.

YOU

Found a little gem yesterday.
Sharing today.

The only person

who has

to believe in you

is you.

But if it matters ...

I believe in you, too!

Have a beautiful day.

Light

If you know me,
not only am I a full glass person,
I am a light person.

This just made me smile ...

I hope you always

notice the light.

The way it slips

through the trees.

The way it rests

on a kitchen table.

The way it beams

from the heavens.

The way it finds it way

into the dark places.

Light has

a quiet persistence

that encourages me.

Live in the light.

Rooted

A wonderful way to start your week ...

Life becomes much lighter

when you understand

that your job

isn't to control

how others think

or act or feel.

Your job

is to stay rooted

in who you are,

act with integrity,

stay devoted

to your growth,

and to let go

of what isn't yours

to carry.

Sunday Edition

Rather Rockwell-esque, eh?
As is the following.
Not my norm, but am enjoying
following my fingers.

I do hope you enjoy ...


Kind Words
by Lyn Marinello ~ 9/2026

Kind words
are like wild flowers ~
random seeds
strewn about …

and through the lushest soil,
or the grittiest sand;
atop the rockiest crag,
or through the slimmest pavement crack …
what you have watered
will sprout blossoms
of light and love
the likes of which
you may never witness

but … oh
the garden you have grown.

All The Things

Today there are many national celebrations.
Instead of taking each one separately,

I'm gonna mash 'em all together -

as they are of one ilk.

Are ya ready? 

...

It is 

National Hug and High 5,

Encouragement 

as we are

Just One Human Family

Day!!!

See what I mean?

Get out there.

Look to help one another,

be kind to one another,

and remember

that we are allllll connected.

9.11

The best way
we can honor

those lost on 9.11

is

to be the people

we were

on 9.12.
