Dear First name / sweet friend
One of the things that hurts my heart the most in life is when my little one is hurt emotionally by a peer. It's so hard to witness & guide this without becoming an instant helicopter! Gosh, when you directly witness the impact it has and know just exactly why it was so uncalled for and just so incredibly mean.
The last one got me good…
…so it's the reminder I need today, to be the one :
Be the one who chooses kindness.
Be the one who makes others feel included.
Be the one who stands up for someone who is being bullied.
Be the one who spreads smiles, not tears.
Be the one who thinks before speaking or acting.
Be the one who thinks “how would this make me feel?".
Be the one who smiles at others.
Be the one who acts with compassion.
Be the one who continues kindness even when it's not dished out to you.
Be the one who chooses what's right.
Be the one who helps others.
Be the one who makes this world a better place.
Be the one who takes a stand.
Be the one who others can count on.
Be the one who makes others feel special.
Be the one who others have no option but to speak good about.
Be the one who spreads love, not hate.
Be the one who leads with gratitude.
Be the one who ripples kindness like it's nobody's business.
