The Gift Of Family

My elderly Aunt just lost her 2nd and remaining son and I have been deeply touched by how our family has rallied around her to help her with arrangements and issues with her house. We've been on the phone non-stop and working to make sure she is safe and her needs are met and everyone is chipping in. For such a difficult time, it is heartwarming to see everyone banding together. As a spiritual person, I call that karmic resonance, where everything happens at the right time with all the right people for the best end result. 

Other's Positivity Was a Learning in Letting Go Of Anger

KindSpring helps us in so many ways that we don't even realize until we run into different situations. For two days in a row I had reasons to be very angry and say things I know I would later regret. In the past I would obsess over them and stay in that angry place for days or longer.

Now, thanks to examples from the people on KindSpring and their stories, I was able to look at the situations rationally, figure out solutions, and let the anger go. Instead of creating encounters with these people coming from an angry place and making the problems even worse, the solutions instead will resolve them in a positive, healthy way.

Thank you all for your example and teachings that are showing me healthier ways to handle life's challenges. Not carrying around that anger allows me to be more kind and compassionate to the people involved and that is a big step for me.

A Forever Home For 'Cali'

I have exciting news to share of my experience with fostering a dog named Cali. A wonderful couple came to our home yesterday for an official meet and greet and there was an immediate bond that was obvious to all of us, especially with the one she'll be spending the most time with. They will give her an incredible life based on the love and attention they gave their last dog who passed away a year ago. I think they may even be able to love her more than Laura and I do, if that's possible. She is so dear to us that we couldn't have let her go to anyone less worthy. In a week she will be in her new home and a brand new beginning so far removed from the horrible hoarding situation she came from. It was overwhelming dealing with the combined feelings of sadness and loss ... Read Full Story >>

Remembering Leolady

This act of kindness and remembrance comes from a friend here on Kindspring.

To help provide protection supplies for one of the hardest hit areas, NYC hospitals, healthcare, and workers, you can go to the Stash tea website and make a contribution there.

The money will go directly to these dedicated professionals. I made a donation in the memory of my dear friend Carole, LeoLady, and plan to make another in a few days. You can buy tea as well, it's very affordable, and you're supporting their business.
You can also contact your local churches who may have support programs and shelters to see help provide for those most in need.

I've been thinking a lot about our most vulnerable citizens, the elderly, the homeless, and how to be of aid to them.
