I’ve been hearing the term ‘new normal’ way too much lately. Let’s be honest, this is not our new normal. At least it’s not mine. I’d say it’s more of a temporary set of rules we are suggested to follow. Personally, I believe it’s a bit much but regardless of how you feel accepting this way of life is depressing. And I am all about being positive so it certainly doesn’t fit into MY normal. And it doesn’t have to. Because only you can make your life amazing and allowing negative shit to bring you down and drag you around is no good. I always remind myself that bad energy only attracts more of it. Putting good vibes out into the world and being positive will bring good things your way AND rise the vibration around you. It’s sort of like a mirror – you reflect what you’re feeling. So try to smile, be grateful and move forward in a way that is best for you. Feel the sunshine and flow with it. Chase it. Whatever makes you happy and brings you peace – keep doing it. You’re allowed and most certainly expected to. And anyone who will tell you different is probably miserable themselves so not sure you should be taking advice from them anyway. Just be kind and keep moving. Try to understand and accept, even when it’s hard. Be calm, even when it’s rough. And spread love, because the world around you truly needs it.

Stretching ourselves too thin because we want to do so much will only drain the life out of us. But lending a hand here and there will truly make a difference. By starting at home and in our communities we spread the message of joy and hope within the world around us. Helping others and being positive can only make our days brighter. And as more people do their part change happens in the most beautiful way. We all must remember we are connected. The goodness in you will bring out the greatness in others. And when it comes to love and kindness, a little goes a long way.

Lately, I’ve been feeling pulled into service a lot more. Supporting and helping people who truly need it. This has always been a way of life for me, giving to others, being kind and spreading the love. But these past few months have sort of channeled the giver in me and I just want to do so much more. I don’t have much money but I donate and send gifts when I can. I’m pretty busy but I try to share my time when others need it. I’m growing my business but I often discount my services and offer freebies here and there. I just want to bring sunshine to peoples lives and help light up those souls who need it most. And I am thinking up more ways do just that.

This year hasn’t been easy. I dealt with and still am dealing with personal issues. I have friends going through their own challenges that range from health issues to losing loved ones. We are all fighting some type of battle, big or small. And with support, encouragement, and kindness, we can make a difference in how those battles turn out. People need each other. We weren’t meant to go through anything alone. We are all connected. And there is no better time than now to open your heart to the ones who need it, want it and deserve it. During my break, I am going to come up with ways to help my community more and help lift up the people I love. What are ways you can spread more kindness? The way I see it, giving is always a win-win.
