Awakening Saturday February 28

Good Morning from Camp Sunnyside!!  What are you thankful for today??  I'm thankful for the Awakening that I have gone through!!  Ever felt like you were just going through the motions of life and one day something would happen to change everything??  That happened to me!! I had gotten out of an abusive relationship, did the counseling and was thinking is this what I'll continue to do... Wake up, work out, work friends, family and home.. Routine. I wanted something more... An Adventure!! A friend of mine was opening a salon in Chicago, at the time. I wanted to see it and see if he would let me come work there one week a month. So I found a free place to stay on Sunday, talked to him on Tuesday and set up a meeting for that Saturday, and bought my plane ticket on Wed!! I flew out on Thursday night. I met my friend whose Father was letting me stay in his work condo on Michigan Ave. On Friday, I went to the Taste of Chicago Expo, museums and shopped. Saturday was my meeting was at Trump Tower, where my friend's salon is located. Beautiful salon!! Great meeting!! He will always be my friend and mentor. He wanted me to move there permanently and work with him full time. Needless to say, I didn't go work with him one week a month however, I had the best time exploring the city all by myself!  The whole trip was Completely and Totally out of my Comfort Zone... And it Awaken the Sense of Adventure and Travel in me!! Since then I have taken several vacations by myself and I absolutely LOVE it!! Would I enjoy a travel buddy? Sure and when I go alone, I am left to figure it out myself and that's the adventure of it!! Sometimes we just need to step out of our comfort zone to know we can do anything we put our minds to!! Then we can reach out and empower others to step out of their comfort zone to Awaken the Spirit that lives within them!  May your day be filled with whatever Awakens You!!  Happy Saturday!!

Harmony Friday February 27

Good Morning Sunshine!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for #Harmony!! In music,  Harmony is the simultaneous combination of tones.  Seems to be fitting for Life as well!! We are a combination of types of people!! If you were on social media yesterday, we experienced that with what color is this dress debate! The point is We are put here to Collaborate, Build Community and Bring each other Up not tear one another down!! We are Not the same and thank goodness we're not!! We are a masterful blend of personality and appearances that when surrounded by the right people, we Harmonize!! We create Amazing Music in our Lives!! If we were the same, we would be monotone... And asleep! As we know, we can get sleepy when listening to something monotonous for too long.  Our personalities, our behaviors and our opinions all are Notes that fuse us together making us who we are as the most Wonderful Melody!! Before you judge the person who isn't anything like you,  just know that they are Wonderfully Made to Dance to their Own Music and Beat their Own Drum!! May your day be filled with People who can take your Melody, bring Harmony to your Life and make  Beautiful Music together!! Happy Friday!! #music #differences #wonderfullymade #collaborate #buildcommunity #empowerothers

Mom Thankful Thursday February 26

Good Morning Campers!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for my Mom!! Typically our Mom is the first one to hold us, feed us and bath us when we're born. So we have an incredible amount of Love for this woman. I mean come on,  we came out of her body!! Every single one of us was brought into this world through our Moms. What a gift that she has given us!! She gave us life,  our chance to be who we are today!! Even today if you talk to someone who was given up for adoption or abused by their mom,  most will say they still love their mom. Talk about a Bond!! Then as we grow up,  we learn alot from our Moms!! My mom taught to be strong, independent,  stand up and fight when I need to and also keep my mouth closed if I didn't have anything nice to say. She has a crazy funny sense of humor and I get my sarcastic side from her. And if you know her, you know she would do anything for anybody within reason. She also taught me to be a business owner as she is.  If your Mom is still with you, love her, love on her and take care of her, she took care of you once. If there is something that you need to forgive her for, just do it! Just forgive!! If you're waiting for her approval on you and your life...she has given that to you the day you were born! She chose you! She loves you and always will, it's just her way!! We never know how long we'll be here so make this time count!! May your day be filled with love from your Mom and love for your Mom!! Happy #ThankfulThursday!! #mom #nobodylovesyoulikemom #positive #inspiration  #entrepreneurs

Self Respect Wednesday February 25

Good Morning Campers!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for Self- Respect!! Self-Respect is the regard of dignity of one's character. Ever have someone disrespect you by calling you mean and hurtful things?? What if that someone is You?? When we allow ourselves to hear those things from our own self talk, we allow others to talk to us like that!  So Now  is The Time to Stop It!! Change your Thoughts about Yourself!! Love Yourself!! Think about You as you think about your most precious loved one!! Cause guess what,  You Are!! You are Your most precious Loved One!! So instead of verbally beating yourself up, Nurture Yourself and Love Yourself!! Then you can invite another person in, who loves themselves, to love you. But if you talk to yourself like trash then you won't be able to trust another person's true nice character. You'll think they have ulterior motives!  Now some will and the ones who don't, you'll push away!! So today,  may You Treat Yourself as Your Most Prized Possession, cause You Are!! And then you can reach out and help someone else to treat themselves better!! Happy Wednesday!! #mostprizedpossession #selfrespect #keepitclassy #befabulous #positive #inspiration #lipstick #havedignity  #empowerothers #empoweryourself

Weird and Different Tuesday February 24

Good Morning Campers!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for the "Weirdness" in me and other people!! Look at this quote from the Oscars Sunday night... Onstage: "When I was 16 years old, I tried to kill myself because I felt weird and I felt different and I felt like I did not belong. And now I'm standing here and so I would like for this moment to be for that kid out there who feels like she's weird or she's different or she doesn't fit in anywhere. Yes, you do. I promise you do. You do. Stay weird, stay different. And then when it's your turn and you're standing on this stage, please pass the same message to the next person who comes along." Backstage: "This was my 45 seconds to be on television and say something and I might as well say something meaningful." ~ Best Adapted Screenplay winner Graham Moore of The Imitation Game

How cool is that?!?! Have you ever thought that You were Different than anyone else?? This proves that the most "Different" people will be the most Successful!! Why?  Cause we don't listen to the naysayers, we just keep being Weird!! And then we reach out and encourage the next person that it's OK to be Weird!! May You be so Weird and Different that you Achieve All your Goals!! Happy Tuesday!! #weird #different #entrepreneurs #inspiration #positive #empowerothers #empoweryourself

Serenity and Tranquility Monday February 23

Good Afternoon from Camp Sunnyside!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for the Calmness when faced with Opposition!! We all face other people's anger, hostility, jealousy and even hate.  Just Stay Calm and Respond with the opposite of what they're expecting!! There will always be people who Love Drama and want to create it and get you to join in.  Instead, be a wrench in their plan and say that's too much drama for me and walk away. Imagine their surprise when you join in.  Same goes for anger. When someone comes at you with Anger and you Respond with Serenity instead of Reacting to their bad behavior, it may just change their mood. If they are used to people reacting the same way every time, then maybe it's time for us to shake things up a bit by remaining Calm, Serene, Tranquil and Peaceful. That could potentially change the way they handle things in the future. Maybe they don't know they are being hostile or drama filled. Believe me I'm guilty of my own drama, anger and jealousy so when I started noticing it in other people, I stopped. I made a choice it wasn't how I wanted to spend the rest of my Life wrapped up in drama. I chose to walk away from drama and guess what happened, it doesn't find me anymore!! Be the Force of Love, Calm and Light in someone else's life today and see what happens.  May your day be filled with Serenity, Tranquility and Love!! Happy Monday!! #positive #inspiration #calm #love #serenitynow #tranquil  #entrepreneurs #empowerothers #empoweryourself

Positive Soulful Sunday February 22

Good Morning Sunshine!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for a good cup of coffee that makes my day start on a Positive note!! What starts your day on a Positive Note?  It could be the quiet time you spend planning your day or the quiet time you have before the Chaos begins!! Whatever you do, make sure that you find a way to start your day in a positive way!! We all have to find what works best for us. For me,  I like to drink my coffee, listen to music and write in a journal. It helps me to set the tone for the rest of the day. Even when we have to face the tough decisions ahead of us,  we have to set the foundation in the beginning of our day. If we set aside just 20 mins to gather our thoughts,  we can continue positive thoughts through out our day.  May you start  every day with way a nourishes soul before you tackle what's next!! Happy Sunday!!

Silliness Saturday February 21

Good Morning Campers!! What are thankful for?? I'm thankful for Silliness and Silence!! When going to a movie, Silence is Golden!! And when through a rough patch in Life,  Silliness is required to lighten the load!! And sometimes it's when we are required to be Silent that the Silliness Happens and you can't Stop. Like at a funeral or at church or during testing,  sometimes we can just create  our own Silliness and it lightens our mood.  And sometimes after adding Silliness to the situation, we are required to be silent,  which of course,  the most difficult thing to do!! So may your day be filled with Silliness through the Silent parts of life!! Happy Saturday!! #silliness #caturday #lightentheload #positive

Food Friday February 20

Good Evening from Camp Sunnyside!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for Food!! Food  nourishes the body and the soul! Typically, we use food to celebrate birthdays, rewards for jobs well done, for funerals and weddings. It's just a given that Food will be part of these events. We have a love affair with food and sometimes we even become addicted to it. But we also use food to comfort someone when they're sick,  had surgery or had a death in the family. Food nourishes us in many different ways. Even the people who are giving the food feel like they're helping by giving Nourishment. So when you are going through something and someone says "Let me bring you food", allow them!! It's their way of showing Love.  With this said, May your Food Nourish your body as well as your soul and may you provide Nourishment for another person!! Happy Friday!!

The Little Things Tuesday February 17

Good Morning Campers!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for the little things in Life!! This teddy bear was made lovingly by step mom and she used one of my dad's old shirt.  I love it! I have other gifts that people hand made me and I treasure each one of them.  Also, I treasure the way a child laughs and the things they say.  I'm thankful that I have both of my parents and enjoy spending time with them. I'm thankful for all the little things like good cup of hot coffee every day, a warm house, a car to drive and career that love to go to every day!! What are the little things that you can be thankful for?  May your day be filled with little things that you can be thankful for as some people would say those things are a luxury!! Happy Tuesday!!

Comfort and Peace Monday February 16

Good Afternoon from Camp Sunnyside!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for Comfort and Peace, especially on a cold day like today!! Where do find comfort and peace?? It depends.  I love the Mountains. I find that I'm at peace when I'm around them,  looking at and just enjoying the majestic nature.  Also,  I find Comfort at the end of the day,  being able to go to my warm home and put on my PJs and slippers and relax for the remainder of the day. Likewise, I also find Comfort and Peace when someone prays for me. Furthermore, this beautiful blanket that my friend made me, I find Comfort and Peace when I'm wrapped up in it. All of these things make me feel safe and that there is something bigger than myself. May you find Your Comfort and Peace today in your safe place!! There are some people who don't have that luxury.  Happy Monday!!

Volunteers Sunday February 15

Good Afternoon Campers!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for Volunteers!! People who give time, money and lend a hand to other people, projects, and missions!! There are some people whose Mission in Life is to strictly Volunteer their time to be on committees or boards. Then some people volunteer their money to their church, local charities and to the panhandler on the street.  There are even some people whose Life depends on volunteers supporting them so they can be On Mission somewhere in the world.  All of these people have one thing in common... A Heart to Give Back!! We can choose how involved we want to be the World around us. And we can choose to just help another person out, like our friends.  Maybe they are going through chemo and need a ride.  Or just someone to hold their hand during a rough patch in Life. Whatever you decide to do with your resources, please know that you are Changing someone's Life!! So thank you for Being There!! Thank you for having a Heart to Give Back!! Thank you for Volunteering!! May your day filled with people who surround you that Have a Heart for Giving Back!! Happy Sunday!!

#KC2040 Friday February 13

Good Morning Campers!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful to be a part of this new community of what the city will look like in the year 2040!! KC2040 is building a network community to help one other out. From non profits and for profit businesses to civic and political organizations and people who just want to be part of something bigger than themselves. They want to get everyone involved on some level to make this city a better place to live!! They want for us to showcase what we are doing here in the Midwest!!

Have you thought about what your city or town will look like in 25 years?? Are you a part of something bigger than you?? Why not?? Are you making connections with people who can and are willing to help you reach your goals?? Maybe there is a non profit that you want to help out with or maybe you want your business to grow, whatever your goal is, reach out to others in the community and you might just get the help that you've been looking for. Or you maybe you'll meet some really cool people that will become your friends some day. Or perhaps, you just might meet that person that will help propel you forward to reaching your goals!! 

My goal is to be a part of a community that are working towards the Greater Good and Paying it Forward by reaching back and helping the next person. We were all put here on the Earth for a reason, why not help each other out when we can.  When we surround ourselves with people who are on the same page, life just keeps getting better!! May your day be filled with people who are the same page as you and want to help you succeed in life!! Happy Friday!!

Thankful Thursday February 12

Good Morning Sunshine!! It's Thankful Thursday!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful that I learned to be Vulnerable. For many years, I had such a wall built up around me that I couldn't even pronounce the word vulnerable!  By learning to not always be in survival mode, I learned to be OK with vulnerable.  And guess what happened?? The more I was vulnerable, the more others allowed themselves to be vulnerable with me. Think about this,  if we are so used to how people are going to respond to us, maybe we need to talk to them differently.  Maybe we need to be vulnerable and expose our heart a little to speak to their heart and they will respond completely different than we expected!! When talking with other women,  I learned that we all have stories that we can learn from. Most of us can relate to relationship issues whether it's parents, children or spouse. At some point in our lives we were all children and had parents. And if we are lucky enough to have our parents in their later years,  we know how the roles switch and we become the "parent" to our parents. And if we can be vulnerable with them, we can be the best care taker for them. If we forgive and let go any hard feelings,  we are given the gift to take care of them, maybe even better than they took care of us!! The same applies for other relationships, if we can be vulnerable, forgive and we speak from our heart, we get a chance to heal regardless of how the other person reacts. Because we spoke our true feelings.  And even if it fell on deaf ears, we have released it from our heart. That's what being vulnerable is about, letting the truth speak from our heart not knowing how it will be received. And knowing that you're going to be OK whatever the outcome is!! May your day allow you to be vulnerable to someone who needs to hear what your heart has to say and be OK with however it is received!! Happy Thursday!!

Beacon of Light Wednesday, February 11

Good Morning from Camp Sunnyside!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for the Beacons of Light that I have in my Life!! There are people who just shine as we talk with them and we know they want the best for us. They are in our lives to be an example for us.  To show us how to Love ourselves and Love others!! To show us that no matter what we've been through, we still matter!! To show us that we are the only ones who are  hard on ourselves!! To encourage us when we have an idea for a business, or a way of doing something better!! To put their arms around us and say "Its going to OK". Every day I have these people in my life and I am truly thankful for them!! I don't know where I would be without them. So to pay them back,  I Pay It Forward. May your day be filled with people who Beacons of Light for you and then you can reach back and be a Beacon of Light for someone else!! Happy Wednesday!!

Awesome Tuesday February 10

Good Morning Sunshine!!  What are you thankful for today??  I'm thankful that today is my Dad's Birthday today and that's he's still here with me!! We may not have always seen eye to eye, however he loved me the only way he knew how!!  And I appreciate him for that!!  He taught me how to work hard, play hard and stay positive. He taught me how to "walk it off" when something has gotten me down. And he taught me to keep going forward and don't look back!!  So in honor of him today,  Be Awesome for someone in your life!!  Talk to them in a way that you wouldn't have normally.  Be vulnerable and share your true feelings, you never know what will happen next!! May your day be filled with people who are awesome to you and tell you how they mean to you.  Then reach out and do the same for someone else!!  Happy Tuesday!!

Vision Monday February 9

Good Morning Campers!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for the Vision that I am working on!! We all have dreams,  goals and aspirations!! The difference in the people who achieve them and the ones who don't is...not giving up!! The way I look at it is that I don't have a choice,  I will Get it Accomplished!! It may take me many years and that's OK!! If we know without a shadow of doubt what our Purpose is, then we will Live the Life we've been dreaming about!! May you be filled with the Confidence that your Vision for your Purpose will happen!! Then reach back and encourage the next generation to do the same!! Happy Monday!!

Travel Sunday, February 8

Good Morning Campers!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for all the #travel I've done.  The picture is the shore line in Oceanside, California where I went several years ago.  Two of my favorite places is San Diego and Colorado in the US. Although I haven't been out of the States, I do plan on going to Australia someday to visit some friends there!! The Best thing about traveling is stepping out of your comfort zone and getting out of your own head.  We get stuck in monotony of commuting the same way to work,  eating the same food, and seeing the same thing all the time.  Traveling somewhere different, gives us a fresh perspective where we are every day!! Just by changing the route to work, we make our brains be more aware of our surroundings. Going on a trip also allows us to rely more on our instincts and makes our brains work differently as we have to figure things out. Traveling may open our minds to different cultures, tasting new foods and meeting new people. When we travel, we see that our corner of the world is not the only one and we appreciate what we do have more.  I'm looking forward to my next trip!! Maybe we'll meet in the airport one day!  May your day be filled with a different perspective of your surroundings, open your mind to meeting new people and tasting new food!! Happy Sunday!!

Like Minded People Saturday February 7

Good Morning Sunshine!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for the Like Minded People that I have in my Life!! Ever been around people for so long that you just get used to their Normal?? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything wrong with them,  I'm saying one day you look around and think why am I only surrounded by one type of person?? This is Huge World with Diverse people all around us but sometimes we are so comfortable in who we spend time with that we don't think about trying to meet new people.  Studies have shown that we become  like the company we keep. So do you need to change your company?? Are you  surrounded by the Negative Nellys and Debbie Downers of the world?? Or do surround yourself with people who Lift you Up, Build your Self Esteem and Encourage you to Follow your Dreams?? Either way, you will be similar to company you keep.  Several years ago, I decided to Step out my Comfort Zone and do things where I can meet new people, hear different view points, expand my culture.  Guess what happened?? I have met some really Awesome, Amazing and Fun people!! Some of them have become people I call Friends!! I'm open minded enough to meet someone, hear their story and learn something from them.  Are you open minded to able to do that?? Next time you're feeling down, maybe it could be time to step out of your comfort zone and find a Positive Person to spend time with.  May your day be filled with people who lift up,  encourage you and make you think differently!! Happy Saturday!!

Time Friday, February 6

Good Morning Campers!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for #Time, that there is A time for Everything!! We all have a limited amount of time here, so we should make the best of it, right?? With that said, is there something that you need to tell someone?? Maybe you need to tell someone how much they mean to you.  Or maybe you need to tell someone that you're sorry.  Don't wait, do it now before it's too late!! It seems we all think that we have all the Time in the world to get around to doing and saying the things that we really need to do and say...The reality is,  we don't!!! There is time to rest, to work, to love, to mourn, to forgive, to dance and to tell the people who are on your heart and mind that you love them and apologize if needed.  Before that time is up, I hope you do that soon!! May your weekend be filled with an opportunity to tell someone who have always wanted to say that you're sorry or that they mean the world to you!! Life is short and You All mean the World to me!! Happy Friday!!

Commitment Thankful Thursday, February 5

Good Morning Campers!! It's #ThankfulThursday What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for #Commitment!! Commitment is a pledge or promise to yourself and/or others. How many times have we promised something to another person but then didn't follow through?? We weren't committed to holding that promise.  What about the promises we tell ourselves?? Do we hold those in higher regards or are we less committed to ourselves than others?? For example, last year I promised myself I would run a 5k.  I committed to the training of running on a regular basis and eating the proper foods.  And guess what, I did it!! In my professional career, I have been at jobs where I stayed no longer than 6 months and I have been committed to a company where I stayed for 10 years.  What the difference was; my Commitment to the company and to my Goals in life. When our heart is 100% all in, we are committed to that Goal, situation and/or person. Now, I'm Committed to Making My Dreams come True which will Empower Others to make their dreams come true!! What are you Committed to?? May your heart be filled with Commitment, so you can work on your Goals and Dreams!! Then you can reach back and empower someone else to do the same!! Happy Thankful Thursday!!

Goals Wednesday February 4

Good Morning Campers from Camp Sunnyside!!  What are you thankful for today??  I'm thankful for the Goals that I have written down!!  When we write our Goals down,  there is a mind body connection that happens that changes the way our mind perceives them.  They are no longer just rolling around in our head and we are wishing they come true. When we write down our Goals, they almost jump off the page and come alive, creating Action!!  Without Action, Goals can not become Reality!!  When we take Action,  the Goals will take on their own personality (lack of a better word). We will begin to Wake Up every morning focused on how can we achieve that Goal.  What Action can we do today that will be one step towards reaching our Goals??  How can we make this happen?? There is a shift in our everyday thoughts when we write down our Goals as there will always be people telling us, We can't Do it!!  However, when you see that Goal written down on paper,  you know that one day,  it will happen!! And you start to live with the Determination as It Will Happen, it's just a Matter of Time!!  So if you haven't taken the time to write your goals down, take the time and watch and see what happens next,  you might just Achieve what you want!!  May your day be filled with an opportunity to write down your Goals, an Action to make your Goals become Reality and make a Connection that will help you along the way!!  Happy Wednesday!!

Power of Words Tuesday, February 3

Good Morning Campers!!  What are you thankful for today??  I'm thankful that I understand the Power of my Words Direct where I will Go in life!! Anyone remember that saying Loose Lips Sink Ships?  It means a couple of things, Lies creates Loses. And it means What we say will Direct the Direction We Are Going!! Just as a rudder directs where the boat travels, our tongues direct where our lives go.  If we use our words for good,  we will be heading in the right direction. If we use our words for bad (to hurt others), we will be heading down the wrong direction. Ever been part of the rumor mill and watched as the words people say wreck havoc and chaos into that person's life or even destroy a business?? It happens on a daily basis!!  What if we turned that around and instead of gossip, we  speak blessings, abundance and prayers over people and businesses?? What would that look like??  I think we would have a bunch of Healthy, Wealthy and Wise people in the world,  more than we have now!! So the next time you feel like speaking bad about someone, turn it around and speak a blessing for them it might just change Your Life and theirs!!  May your Day be filled with people who Speak Positive Words and Blessings about you!! And may you have the opportunity to do the same for others!!  Happy Tuesday!!

Miracle Monday February 2

Good Morning Campers!!  What are you thankful for today??  I'm thankful for All the Miracles in my Life!!  If you think that you haven't had a miracle lately,  I'm here to tell,  yes you have!! However, we take some miracles for granted. For instance, the Sun rose again today!!  We are breathing and ready to take on the day!!  How many of us were born to parents who were told they couldn't have any more children?  But here you are!!  How many of us had children after being told,  you shouldn't have any more??  Your children are proof of miracles!  And yet, we put stuff in categories!!  Big miracles, little miracles,  Big mistakes, little mistakes.  How about saying it is what it is. A Miracle is a Miracle regardless of the adjective we put in front of it!! Let's be thankful for All the Miracles in our Life regardless of the adjective we want to add.  If we expect a Miracle to happen, then maybe it will happen more often!!  May your Day be filled with Miracles and be expecting and thankful for countless Miracles to happen!! Happy Monday!!

Generous Sunday, February 1

Good Morning Campers from Camp Sunnyside!!  What are you thankful for today??  I'm thankful for Other's #Generosity!! Now when I say that,  I don't mean money!! I mean People who are Generous with their Time, with their Kindness and with their Love!! Ever have someone take an hour to sit down with and just listen?? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!!  They were Generous with their Time, Kindness and Love all at the same time!  We are all busy!!  We all have Hectic schedules!! And yet we will make time for the ones who matter.  What about those who we don't think matter??  Maybe that's where we need to Focus our Generosity!  Maybe we Should spend some Time, Kindness and Love to someone who we normally wouldn't have.  Maybe if we spent time kindness and love to someone we just met, we might just change their life!!  What if it was reversed??  You meet someone new, maybe at school, the gym, or even at a networking function, and you follow up by carving out some time with this Person. How would that look to them??  Maybe you were the missing link in the Next Great Thing!! Maybe they just said to themselves 'nobody wants to spend time with me, I should just end it all' and you made the difference. Maybe they just needed to vent about something before they exploded on their loved ones. We never know the kind of Impact we will make on another person. So if we make a conscious choice to be Generous with our Time, Kindness and Love,  maybe we can change someone's life!!  And then they will reach back the next person and do the same. May your day be filled with People who are Generous with their Time, Kindness and Love for you!!  Happy Sunday!!
