As we continue to move away from peace - as individuals and as a nation - I have to remind myself to focus on the little things.

I think about random acts of kindness (stay tuned - I think this will be a new feature of my site). I think about listening and hearing, about opening my heart. About paying attention. And I'm even thinking about knitting:

Sally Snipes Wells on knitting dolls for refugee children: I believe what will save the world is more hearts brimming with love. Dolls carry love and nurture love for the giver and the receiver. When I hold a doll and pour into it my love, and wishes for well being, comfort, and joy for the little child who will get the doll, I experience a deepening of love, well being, comfort, and joy which ripples out into everything else I do. I am grateful to have found this project. I hope you will be, too.
