You give off energy. When you interact with others, what kind of energy do you send their way? Having a bad day is a trail of dark energy you take with you through the day. Can you change it? You actually can if you are intentional about it.

It’s a matter of perspective

We can intensify the impact if we intentionally work together to help those around us, like a defuser. Have you ever had someone say just the right thing you needed to hear on one of those days? It helps. Okay, what if we watched for that through our day? Both sides of it, those giving it off, and those needing it, are those we could spot if we had our intention on it.

We can watch for the kindness of others, especially the ones we usually take for granted. Pause long enough to let them know you see and appreciate them. If it catches on, and your day was filled with people saying it to you, how do you think your day would go then?

Tasting the fruit

When we purposefully and intentionally interact with kindness that’s genuinely from the heart, it will leave a sweet taste of fruit in your soul. You taste that fruit when you give it away. You cannot give someone a heartfelt compliment and feel sour.

Wake up late? Don’t let it lead you down the path of irritation and rudeness. If you are meant to be where you are at any given moment, then watch instead of who you see that might need kindness from you. Perhaps your chance to interact with them was divinely guided. What do you think that would do to the energy you give off? You could be a walking talking Blessing to others. Even our briefest interactions with others can last be lasting. If your words come from the soul, they can remember how you made them feel for a lifetime.

Where to find it

Every single day can be a part of that. It’s already out there in communities, support groups and organizations. Social Media groups on every platform share it with each other from Rallies For Hope and Kindness to the Military and Allies of #Angels14 to empath groups that are Beacons of Change. If you don’t belong to one, perhaps it’s a way to help shift things around for you. People can be amazing. You can be amazing. No matter what you have been through, it’s a choice… and when you find yourself feeling it, share it. Be kind. It’s as simple as that. Now that you’ve read this (thank you) perhaps you will notice these opportunities that you otherwise would have missed.

Sadies’s Purpose

“Other people are going to find healing in your wounds. Your greatest life messages and your most effective ministry will come out of your deepest hurts.” Rick Warren What a powerful testament to purpose of service. It makes you a lighthouse in the darkness for others. It becomes a bright soul light.

Amanda Knight is a shining example with a cause that comes from immeasurable pain into a purpose of light for others. Her wound and her daughter’s life created a lighthouse for others called Sadie’s Purpose. The water bottle in the picture above can be found on her website, along with many other options to help others who become way too familiar with the hallways and the nurses of the NIC units of hospitals. The mission is to provide support packs to NICU families that will help them focus less on essentials and more on what matters most – helping their baby get well! She has also created a blog, TheButterBeanLegacy.com to help support it with the beauty of nature filled with recipes, natural living tips, gardening, and so much more.

I’m asking you to look because we’re all in this together. Even if you have never experienced it, you may be connected to someone who has or is, even if you don’t realize it. A boss, a coworker, your cashier…. you never know sometimes.

Some feel alone and lost in the pain dealing with every part of the struggle. This is Amanda’s way of easing the burdens by just a bit and helping them know they are not alone…that someone does care. It needs awareness and support to reach and help more families. Your one action, a share, a like, or a purchase has the ability to spread this light further. On that I ask you to not simply scroll on by, but to check it out and share the light. It can create an impact.

Thank you Amanda, for your courage through incredible pain. For your efforts to be that light for others. For your ability to turn pain into beauty. Thank you for pairing with your daughter’s soul to create a light of helping others. May God Bless all you do.
