WHY I DON'T GIVE UP ON KINDNESS!

Today reminded me why I still believe in kindness.

After leaving my art show, I couldn’t remember where I had parked my car. I wandered several blocks, struggling with boxes of my artwork on a dolly, feeling exhausted and frustrated. Just as I was about to give up, I came across a group of young friends hanging out nearby.

To my surprise, they were incredibly kind. One of them, a young woman, offered to help me figure out where I had parked. I had a photo of the cross streets, and she instantly recognized the location. Without hesitation, she left her friends—who stayed behind in their car—and walked with me, helping carry the weight I was hauling.

She led me straight to my car, her friends following behind in theirs just to make sure everything was okay.

That moment—so simple, yet so generous—meant the world to me.

This is why I don’t give up on kindness. Because even on hard days, there are still people out there who lead with heart. To that amazing group of friends, and to everyone who showed up with love and support at the Cutie Community Mercado today: thank you. You all reminded me that kindness is alive and well. 💛

Love, Wisdom and Light,
