Kindness

Linking with Charlotte Spiritual Sunday  & Laura Faith Filled Friday


"I not only have the right to stand up for myself, but I have the responsibility. I can't ask somebody else to stand up for me if I won't stand up for myself. And once you stand up for yourself, you'd be surprised that people say, "Can I be of help?" Maya Angelou 

It's the kindness of others that always pushed me forward...to hold on...to not give up...to have hope. And it's been like that all this week....people taking sides....drawing a line in the sand between right and wrong...truth and lies. The encouragement and support has been amazing.

And reading everyone's comments last week softened the blow of what that 'christian' and his church are doing. You guys are the best. From my heart to each one of yours.....a huge thank you.

When bad stuff happens.....something in me immediately wants to give up.....but there's a pull to keep putting one foot in front of the other....and to trust. I chose to do just that with this situation.

While my lawyers deal with 'them,' I'm working on the finishing edits to another book, Dancing Softly, a story that shows the power of kindness in one woman's life. I'm hoping to have it out in November.

Kindness...it's what He showed me when I was at my lowest. Kindness...it's what so many strangers showed me over my life. Kindness...it's what I want to give back...to pay forward what's been given to me. 
Kindness...it's the most powerful force....

Thanks again, Guys!!!!


But I was never meant to walk this road alone.....
