The good we do never dies.
It lives on forever – in other people,
in other places and in other times.
~ Matthew Kelly
I happened to see this quote the other day and felt like it was a great reminder especially on a Sunday morning. Because goodness causes a ripple effect and we never quite know how far the ripple will reach. Hopefully it will reach beyond the grave and we shall be remembered for our kindness and love.
That is the legacy I choose to live, having learned from those who have shown their goodness to me over and over. It is not in the money that we make or spend, but in the time we spend, the memories we make and those priceless precious moments of truth, of goodness and of caring that last a lifetime in the hearts and minds of those with whom we come into contact.
There doesn’t need to be grandiose offerings, but instead small goodnesses add up to be more powerful in the end. The daily love, caring, listening, and kindnesses far outweigh the every once in awhile big show.
It is in the simple love that we thrive, we grow and we blossom.
Shine On!

And you do it very well
Why thank you ML! So do you my friend! xo
So true Yvonne. It is an energy we all create in our own ways, that little smile, a wave to a friend, a chat in need. They are so powerful because they speak to the heart, not bound by any perceived ‘conditional’ love, not needing anything but the love that we are ❤️
Beautiful post kind lady, may your ‘unconditional’ forever float onward 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋 🦘 🐬 🐳 🌺 🌹 🌈
Thank you Mark! I think we can all benefit from unconditional love for that is our power source from which we shine our heartlights and bring more kindness into the world! I hope you are having a wonderful day! ♥ 🙂
Most certainly kind lady 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋
