"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Love and Kindness

We can do small things with great love. Mother Teresa

Paul and I don't really celebrate Valentine's Day....but we do celebrate and practice love and kindness as often as we can. Love and kindness feel like joy....no matter what day it is.

And who doesn't love a bright red heart! I certainly do.

Roseanne sent me this fabulous felted heart.....and Mayor Pete is just the right guy to hold on to it for a while. 


Sometimes love and kindness look like a pile of fabric for someone who is learning to sew. And sometimes love and kindness looks like giving a neighbor a ride to the grocery store because her car was broken down.

I had fabric to spare...and I had time to give and sharing both felt like joy. 

Even small doses of love and kindness can change the world.
