National No Housework Day

Take a break from the sweeping, dusting, and dishes. Dirty windows? They will wait one more day. The vacuum will remain banished to the closet. Mopping? Not today! Today is National No Housework Day and so take a break. It's not laziness. It is being kind to yourself!

self-kindness

To truly practice self-love, you have to learn self-kindness, and being kind to yourself means getting serious and committed to your dreams.

JOY!

Easter is being celebrated today by many, and I know that means a lot of joy.  My wish is that everyone can experience a bit of joy regardless of your observances.  Be kind to yourself.  Celebrate.  Enjoy life!

chocolate eggs and bunnies

Easter is coming (tomorrow)!  When I was little that meant chocolate eggs and bunnies.  Jellybeans too!  Oh, I loved the malted milk eggs!  I might not have been very kind back then, because I don't recall sharing very much.  I will share now though.  Just wait until Sunday.

donating blood

My aunt was a regular blood donor, so I was curious about blood donation from a very young age. I once asked her why she donated — and I was amazed to learn how such a simple act could save lives. The first time I was able to donate myself, I was shocked at how easy the process was and how good it made me feel to do something for others.  For a number of years, I was a blood drive coordinator, and I learned even more about how important this kind act is.  Keep your eye out for a blood drive in your area and donate!

second

What is the second way to be kind or the way to be kind to people on the 2nd? Oh my! I have said this so many times and it will always be true. There are endless ways to show kindness, and it isn't specific to the day or the hour. Let's just always care about others!

April Fool

There may be lots of pranks and jokes today but remember to be nice about it and don't allow any mean spiritedness.  Being kind of course is never a prank- it's a way of life!
