"The light in me honors the light in you."

Dear readers. I have something to say. Please bear 

with, because it's almost my birthday and all I want is to be heard:

I believe that every person deserves to be loved. 

To know love and to feel love. 

And that's why, in the big ways and the medium ways, 

but especially in the small ways, my goal is to show love. 

To let everyone I meet know that I see them. 

That I think they have worth and potential and that they are special. 

To remind them that they deserve everything out of this life. 

You may have heard me say that I try to be kind, always. 

That sometimes I forget, because I am very foolish. 

But each morning I wake up reminding myself not to take 

for granted the fact that - even though I am just one person and that

in this world I am so small and imperfect - I can still show someone

that their light is important. I can still show them love. 

You, too, are just one small person in this big world.

But every interaction is another to chance to turn it all around. 

For yourself and for someone like you. 

So I ask you to choose kindness. 

Because we are all more the same than we are different. 

And it beats making your barista feel like a load of crap because your 

double-shot venti mocha wasn't as hot as you wanted it to be. 

Namaste.

ps. I'm sure the title of this blog made you expect Sea of Love by Cat Power,
but I just couldn't resist posting the song that I've been listening to on repeat.
