While idly admiring the artwork on some “Words of Encouragement” greeting cards at the store yesterday, I found myself thinking, “I should get one of these… for myself!”
Walking back to the car, I saw a novel bumper sticker that read “You Matter.”
While there are many things in life that I care about, the one thing that truly matters is how we treat each other.
If we change nothing more than the self-serving apathy that runs rampant throughout all of our societies, we level up in an indescribable way. The impact would be unfathomable.
Love, kindness, and compassion are literally all we need to change the course of our species and our planet.
There's a lady I deal with at work, very in-charge type. When a mistake happens, or something goes wrong, she doesn't get angry, she doesn't berate anyone, she doesn't lash out. (OK, unless you're REALLY beyond the pale. Like, being aggressively wrong or just an a-hole.) Instead, she calmly, with a smile, asks, "How can we fix this? How can we be sure this doesn't happen again?" And then leads the search for solutions.
That's an energy I want to cultivate more in myself.
#Manipulating people is never a good idea. Its hard to unlearn that and relearning #compassion. White people have done this my whole life and it's #traumatized me. Treat humans, humanely.
"Presumptive statements like “You sound as if you’re 25 to 30”, will often lead the other person to respond with a confirmation like, “Yes, I’m 30”, or a correction, “I’m 35”. Another approach might be to use quid pro quo, where offering personal details of your own life usually results in reciprocation."

Thank you so much for this fantastic book @stevesilberman Very sorry for your recent loss, glad this story lives on. One needs not be directly involved in neurodiversity to enjoy, it’s just a fantastic read. I picked it up because I’m working as a substitute teacher for Glen Paul school and special beginnings programs in Humboldt. These are kids that don’t get placement in regular classes even with an IEP. Also had a beautiful son with hydranencephaly #education#autism#compassion
Lavender oil, ideal for today's Virgo Moon & spiritual readings. It promotes calm, clarity, and compassion—aligning with Matthew 5:43-48's call to love and Psalms 119's wisdom path. For best results, diffuse or apply topically with a carrier oil.
Today's waxing Moon in Virgo aligns with a Full Moon phase, promoting attention to detail and improvement. The gospel of Matthew 5:43-48 urges love and perfection. Combining these leads us to mindful acts of kindness—optimizing Virgo's meticulous nature through compassionate actions prompted by the gospel.
Growing up, Mimi felt ashamed because she wasn’t like other #girls, but a chance discovery at 21 changed that. >>>
When she was first told about the enzyme deficiency, she says she was "reassured that I was...a girl, but that I just couldn't do the things that typical girls could do. I was also told that I couldn't tell my siblings or friends about this."
For facing challenges and embracing the benefits of today's celestial energies, Saint Cosmos is ideal. As a healer, his wisdom resonates with Pisces' compassionate nature. Pray for strength in adversity and clarity of purpose.
"We are, all of us, engaged every day in the construction of a moral order: by our accumulated individual examples, the words we use, the acts we condone, we can make it one that encourages decency and compassion towards others, or the reverse. This is particularly true of those in positions of leadership, political or other."
Just getting on a call with the Global Compassion Coalition.
Edit: not sure what happened. This link is to last week's panel. Investigating. #compassion#politics
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation, and compassion. -Simone de Beauvoir, author and philosopher (9 Jan 1908-1986)
