When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence.

How can you love if you are not there?

One hand at a time

File:Guaricano-Bambini.JPG 

The word authentic comes from the Greek, authentes, which means bearing the mark of the hands. Doing small things with love is how we care for each other, one hand at a time. Doing small things with love releases our courage. And each small act we’re led to leads to more.  Doing small things with love is the atom of bravery.  I tell myself when afraid, “to be courageous, I don’t need to become my best self, I just need to open who I already am and courage will fill me”.

Sunday quote: Like the sun

If you want to be as clear and refreshing as
the breath of the morning breeze,
be like the sun – have nothing but warmth and light
for everyone.
