Only Kindness Matters

Yesterday, I walked in a local St. Patrick's Day Parade in support of and to show off the love that makes up Suz Crew. 

Suz Crew was founded by the amazing Kelly (logo designer) after her mom, Suzanne, died last year from the horrific cancer, LMS.

Our mission is simple. We want to financially assist families who are fighting all types of cancers. Watching someone you love suffer is powerful motivation to help others.

Being a little kinder than necessary.
While we were lining up, Kelly got to meet Lauren Brady, co-founder of This Is Me Foundation. I am utterly fortunate to know these fabulous women. Recently I had the chance to "vote" on where some of the money from Lauren and Cait's foundation would be donated. Through the magic of Facebook, I nominated Suz Crew. They made a generous donation, which we in turn used towards helping a family in need. How beautiful is that?!

And so, in a serendipitous moment, both of these amazing women got to meet and hug. (Cait was somewhere in the crowd watching.)

If you are irritated by every rub, how can you be polished?
~ Rumi

Each of these foundations were started because of circumstances that most certainly were irritating. Painful. Life altering. LOOK HOW THEY POLISHED THEMSELVES!

Today we have lost an hour of sleep. That might make you irritable. If it does, try to take a moment and shake it off. Be a little kinder than necessary.

You might not be moved to start a foundation, but you might be moved to make a donation to a cause that will make your heart happy.

Let me know if you did! A lot of people doing a little adds up to magical amounts.

Laura will LOVE that!

I listened to a TED Talk (I think it was a TED talk...) this week and the ultimate gist of it was, "The more you give, the more you get." Although that may make no sense fiscally, it really does make sense.

Have an awesome day, Ellen!
