Kindness begets kindness. So, wanted to create a space to share and amplify stories of kindness with the hope that it inspires a chain reaction.

Probably the kindest thing I have seen is having my sister come in full power to help me with my business. I didn’t ask her; she didn’t have to step in; she didn’t need the 7-10 hours shifts per day, nor the 7-day work schedule, but she saw I needed help and was there next to me, supporting me, and working in the company.

This is the same for both of us! Creating is our normal and because it is our normal we didn’t necessarily see our creations as special. So we grateful for others ‘seeing’ something in our work that we didn’t recognize.

I just needed one shot, to prove my skill set and to show that I am willing to learn. I showed up there with no experience, still in high school, and just ready to work. Read more>>

More than ten ago, my husband showed me a video by Mark Gungor, called, “The Nothing Box,” (https://youtu.be/SWiBRL-bxiA) which discusses the difference between how men and women think. He explains in a comedic way how men are able to compartmentalize their thoughts and even have a specific compartment they all call the Nothing Box. Women, on the other hand, have a jumble of crossed wires that connect everything to everything else, smothered in emotions. Read more>>
