This morning I was reading a bit of Vibrate Higher daily.
She described a moment where she would.
.
.
Go to Target.
End.
It wasn't to shop.
It wasn't to.
.
.
Soothe.
To see the smiles and the hospitality of the staff.
And it made me reflect on the fact that there are no little things.
There are no little things.
And it can be so easy to preoccupy ourselves.
In our modern world with what society and consumerism and capitalism and celebrity and all of these things have deemed as the big things.
Win the most powerful things.
Without wrapping paper.
Without the shine and the shame.
Or maybe the sheen of a smile.
So this morning's practice.
We're going to dive into the power.
These small acts of kindness.
It's going to be a visualization practice.
Tapping into the flow of life and how,
When we surrender to that flow,
