Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Excerpt from: “Turning Off the News and Breathing in the Season” ~ Bronnie Ware

“Despite not following many people on social media and, as a result, curating a positive scrolling experience for myself when I do indulge, I was feeling my energy waning and my heart in pain due to extending my viewing to other pages. Since late last year, I couldn’t pull myself away from those reporting from inside Gaza or from news of the always-heartbreaking destruction of our forests and natural beauty. I found myself with tears almost every time I went online. Even a quick read of any news now seems enough to kill my joy and set my eyes watering.

Are you the same?

I think the world is too much right now for us sensitive souls.

There will always be darkness with the lightness. There always has been. But we need to be discerning in what we choose to focus on.

It's not insensitive to tune out for a while. 

It's loving ourselves enough to recognize that we can't bring light to the world if we don't."
