Putting kindnesses into your day...

I brain blurbed this not too long ago...put some kindness into your day, every day, so that you will have kindness built up in your kindness account for a rainy day. It is the kind of account that no one can break into and you don't have to check on it. Dumb, but moving.

simple techinique for joy

actualy this turned out to be a pain in the head. I tried to play this stuff and nothing happened. first I had to click somewhere to dfownload it as otherwise I couldn't view it, then when I tried nothing happened. how silly can this get? perhaps there is no joy.

"What's the good news?!"

A number of years ago, I read Ruchoma Shian's book, "All for the boss". I was so moved by it, that I went her home to meet her. What stands out most for me from our initial meeting was her warmth in greeting me as if I were an old friend... What I took into my life, which changed from that moment on was the first thing she said to me... "What's the good news?!" Instantly, I felt my mind and being, slip into a powerful space of gratitude... Not only do these words tell a person to be joyful...but it takes them there!!! It guides the way!
