November 2015

 November is a month of holiday planning. We connect with family, friends, food, and nature as we watch the weather turn from cool to cold especially in the Northeast. This is also a time for fall cleanup as we rake the colorful leaves and clean out our garage or basements. Pumpkins, squash, cranberries and turkey are traditional foods this month. This is a great month to purchase gifts so we don't get caught in a December holiday rush. Have a wonderful November and Thanksgiving. |

Giving Thanks Through Acts of Kindness
Thanksgiving is a holiday that emphasizes giving. We often think of the big things but it's the little things that can count the most. The smile that greets us, the generosity of spirit from a gesture of kindness, the stranger who goes out of their way to help us, are all examples of hope and love and connectedness.
In my book Pathfinding I write, Generosity and kindness do not have to be magnanimous acts. They can be simple, almost noticeable acts of goodness. I love the way Emily Dickinson described it. "They might need a little, but they might need much," she said, "I'll let my head be just in sight; a smile as small as mine might be precisely their necessity." Kindness is the poetry of the heart, the music of the soul. Kind words and loving deeds come from a goodness that turns everything positive. Kindness is so inexpensive, yet so priceless. It comes from a loving heart, and like love, it can't be forced, coaxed or teased out. It comes from deep within us at a soul level, unasked and unsought. Part of being kind is choosing the words we use. We can tell the truth in a loving way without attacking the other person or saying something in a sarcastic or caustic tone. If we want the person to hear us without becoming defensive or hurt, we can state how we feel and why. That is all part of kindness. I believe that if we were all kinder to each other, this world would immediately result in a more loving place for us all. The old axiom "What goes around comes around," really is true. Acts of loving kindness disintegrate barriers, eliminate obstacles and straighten the detours in life. Words of kindness are words of wellness, and acts of kindness are acts of healing. It means choosing our words wisely and opening our hearts as well as our minds to listen and understand. It also means having the belief that we want peace, harmony and win-win relationships in our lives. Beyond our intimate relationships, we can extend this to all of our relationships, from the cashier in the grocery store, the waiter in the restaurant, to the acquaintance we see on the street. During the month of November, let's focus on the small acts of kindness we can do to make a difference in the lives of others which also makes a difference in our lives. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday.
