When people take kindness seriously

Tomorrow will come.

But will it be good?

Will it be civil?

Will kindness win?

Making watercolor tags isn’t hard

Spring evening on walnut floors

Long shadows, still

We rise together

I parked my car on a neighborhood street and just watched a magnolia tree in all its splendor. Tomorrow it might rain and those petals will fall. But right now, they’re perfect.

Bright, strong, resilient — Nature’s gift of spring.

I create little tokens of appreciation and share them with strangers, because kindness deserves to be seen.

Any colors work — bright or soft, warm or cool. Today is about celebration, not perfection.

Your grid can be as structured or as flowing as you like. The joy is in the repetition and variation.

No pressure to form shapes or patterns unless you want to. The focus is the process, not the product.

Perfection is never the aim and specificity isn’t a goal. Just 300 moments of presence.

5 minutes. It’s simple. No dings to respond to. No nervous energy about missed notifications. Simply presence.

It’s an opportunity to welcome ease into your day—just five minutes of presence in a non-filled space. A space in which we “instinctively” reach out for our phones.

If you’ve ever said, “I’m not creative,” or felt stuck in the shoulds of who you’re supposed to be, this episode might offer a gentle nudge back to yourself.

When I hand a kindness keepsake to the restaurant greeter, I am not just giving him a physical item.

It’s a piece of myself.

These mixed media creations aren’t simply recycled materials … they are helping me recycle positive energy.

The world moves fast. But I can choose to move slowly.

While others tapped their feet and checked their phones, I reached for my portable watercolor kit.

A reminder that someone noticed. That their care didn’t go unseen.

This is one of the most vulnerable, honest conversations I’ve ever had on a public platform.
