Pausing a moment from my personal challenges (I mean, I've done one so far, probably need to get moving on that) to set a challenge for all of us.
This week has been HELL. The state of our country, the state of our world, is heart breaking and unspeakable. I'm sitting here with my two baby girls, listening to Thomas the Train play on TV, holding back tears because WHAT IS HAPPENING?? What will it be like when they are my age? What will the state of the world be like for them? I can't go there. My husband Danny said something once about who we are as a family, and it stuck with me, it grew roots in my heart - Love is our culture. That's it. That's who we are. That's what we teach our girls, it's something I fail at often but strive for always. To be love. To show love. To give love. SO my challenge to you, to me...show some extra love today. Go out of your way. Not just in your circle (but yes of course, love on your friends and family too!) Smile at a stranger. Buy them coffee. Let people over in traffic. Talk to someone and learn their story. Show joy and kindness even when you're feeling grumpy. We aren't that different. Hate, indifference, it will never ever solve anything. Make your world a little bigger. We don't have to agree on one dang thing. But I will absolutely treat you with kindness and respect. Love will always be the answer. -K
