A Message of Hope in the Season of Giving

This week I want to keep it short because I want this message to have the ultimate impact on you. 

Over the weekend, I attended a memorial and the speaker said this:

Each day, we get dressed. We put on our clothes. We select comfortable items. We dress for specific occasions. Sometimes we’re fashionistas. Sometimes we hope no one sees us as we dart into the store for something we forgot.

Just as we put on our clothes every day, we have a choice of what energy to dress in. We can be intentional, and what we put on, we can give to others.

Now, he wasn’t saying to be inauthentic, or fake anything. He was saying that just as we get dressed and accessorize, we can choose our view.

Lately, challenges have been many – but I’m making a choice. I’m making an intentional choice hour by hour, day by day. 

I put on kindness.

I put on compassion. 

I put on empathy. 

And being clothed and wrapped in these energies, I can wrap people around me in it too. Picture it as though you’re draping a shawl or comfy sweater over someone’s shoulders.

So here’s to a little gut check. Be kind, compassionate, and empathetic to yourself, and then extend that to others as well. We can accept our differences. Because just like all clothes are made of a different weave, so are we. And that’s a beautiful thing.

So today, dress in kindness. The world just may begin to heal.

Wishing you health and wealth always.
