be a friend

Today is International Friendship Day. Being a friend is one of the kindest things anyone can do. Be there. Make a difference in someone's life.

Enjoying your summer

So are you enjoying your summer?  You know what would make it even more enjoyable?  You already know what I'm going to say.  Kindness.  Yup.  Kindness makes everything more enjoyable!

Independence Day

On this Independence Day, I am remembering these important words from Frederick Douglass: "The life of the nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful and virtuous."

Oh Canada!

I regularly chat with a dear woman from Canada. Today, Canada Day, I am especially thinking of her. Formerly known as Dominion Day, today celebrates the anniversary of Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867, with the passing of the British North America Act, when the three separate colonies of the United Canadas, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick were united into a single dominion called Canada.  Special kindness today to all our Canadian friends.
