My Week in Laundry
There were two piles in the middle of the floor, one dirty that needed to be washed, and one clean that needed to be folded and put away. I’m always behind on the laundry, this week no exception. Early on Saturday, with coffee in hand, I began to sort through the piles, four clean loads ...

I was so happy to dedicate this post to you! Because your message is all about *this* and like you said, we can give back in all ways, including paying attention. That's where giving back really starts, right? Just by being aware.

I LOVE how you say we can bless others with our words! Can I wear a string on my finger to remind myself that my words can do that and should do that every time I open my mouth? And about what parents refer to as their children? Yes, Kim, yes. I 100% agree.

I agree in the pay it forward! It's hard not to pay it forward when someone sets the tone for such kindness! I hope our paths cross again!

I love that your loving words sparked more loving words! But words very much work like this! They have a domino effect for the good!

Yes! Yes! I truly believe we are all here to lift each other up! And we have such a wonderful opportunity to do that with words.

I think the more aware we become of the world around us, the more carefully we choose the words. It all originates from the same mindfulness, right? And yes, I'm so happy I was aware enough to be in the presence of such a wonderful coincidence.

I am the same way, AM. The exact same way. I need to be more mindful with the words I use with the people I love the most.

Thank you Kerry, and I agree, especially in this day and age, when anyone can be a publisher of content, it's more important than ever to watch our words. I am glad you have seen Jennifer's site. She's just marvelous!
