Beauty in the Ordinary

This is not about being brilliant, or extraordinary, it's not about wanting to be famous, or making headlines, or trying to impress...this about sharing a 'gift' each day with the world...to lift the spirit of people when they read this blog, to show them the beauty in the ordinary.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Raold Dahl

PROJECT GENESIS


September 1
 and thanks to some nudging from Suzan at
it's time to think again about what we can do for the World.

My submission this month is not huge...just a commitment each day for the next thirty days
...to do something nice for someone...
...to say something nice to someone...
for no other reason than for love.

They say it takes 21 days to make or break a habit, so why not join me and take the next month
to form this one 

...with your own, with your own two hands...

  3. I love this idea. I believe most of us try to be kind and friendly, but becoming more aware of our actions and in the moment especially with strangers will change not just their lives, but ours.

    Thanks Jacqueline!

  7. I think being kind to others is a wonderful way to do something for the World :-) There are too many people out there who are either too rude or too rushed to do the little things that mean a lot, like saying "please" and "thank you".

    Me and my two hands are with you :-)

  12. Thanks for the inspiration Jacqueline...a wonderful way to live daily...after the 21 days, lets hope kindness giving becomes thoughtlessly normal to the point that we don't even know we're being kind...we just are!
