Kindness is free
Today I used a photograph to inspire me and be the base of my drawings, although you can barely see it, it plays a huge role in my creation. Wanting this piece to be loose and free there is lots of motion and energy which really creates interest.
Today’s message is just a small reminder that even if we have very little to give, we can always give kindness. Today it feels like courtesy and kindness doesn’t happen very often and when we are all behind our computer screens we can be harsher that if we are face to face. Even when I’m running errands or at the grocery store, salespeople or the cashier barely look you in the eyes, or say hello. A little kindness can go a long way, it can brighten someones day and makes everyone (me included) feel that they are not invisible, that we are not alone. So today, look up, look around, give a smile and a how are you…. it could possibly change someone’s life… and it FREE!
