"The buy one, get one free with self-kindness" - I love that line! LOL. It is absolutely true. "You are doing great in your own capacity" - This is an important one! "You cannot render help, be kind, or assist anyone from a place of lack." Being kind to ourselves before extending that kindness to others is similar to the concept of placing our own oxygen masks on first before helping our children get theirs on in the event of an air emergency. If we put their masks on but then pass out because we did not put our own on, who will help them get to the exit and safely off the plane?

We truly cannot pour from an empty cup either, right? It was nice that you helped ease the situation in the taxi, and I loved your kindness journal. Thank you for sharing and for your heart. I apologize that it is taking me a long time to read and reply to everybody's posts. Keep shining your light of kindness; it truly makes the world a better place.
