100% truth! I've been beyond blessed being as "kindee" and have enjoyed so many life experiences simply because I said, "yes, thank you." From traveling with a stranger I met on train to her village for a food festival and then being invited to stay the whole weekend, to shared meals while dining solo, to free ice cream in Copenhagen when I oooh and ahhhed over a spoonful, to a trip on a boat to free stay at a 5 star hotel to shared bread and cheese to being cared for when sick with the flu in Poland. At times, I thought some of the kindness was a form of karma because I often give and connect with strangers. From 2008 to 2020 I always carried a Free Hugs sign and bubbles and stories to share. I had also sold my small home & most of my possessions to seed fund a volunteer literacy project. And yet, many kindnesses continued long after those ways of giving. I , too, believe the universe wishes to help us and part of that is trying to connect us human to human.
