I had the opportunity to take a quick free trip to California this week.  Oxnard to be specific…I don’t know much about California beyond the general locations of San Francisco, LA and San Diego.
Last week the phone rang out of the blue asking if I would be willing to attend a conference in a city that I had never heard of and frankly, didn’t sound very appealing…Oxnard.

Turns out Oxnard is on the beach…Score!  I did have to sit in meetings all day but I had two sunrise strolls on the beach which made it all worth while 🙂

Every day I start the day wondering where I will find the picture I need for my 365 Project.  Tue. was “3” I saw it as soon as I walked out of my room that morning. 🙂

KINDNESS

14/365

How do you capture “kindness” in a picture?  It seems self-serving to post a picture of myself…But this is my point of view…I decided I would focus on being kind all day. I would be intentional with every interaction I had.  Wed. was a traveling day for me.  After the conference ended in the afternoon I would be spending the evening traveling home… So I knew I would have plenty of opportunity to be kind to lots of people, some who may have not seen a kind face all day.

I also decided I would really make an effort to be kinder to myself.  Not just on that day but every day.  I am so hard on myself and I don’t really know why…So I’m making an effort and I’m guessing that anyone else reading this little blog could benefit from making the same “kindness” commitment to themselves.

Parting Shot

We flew from Bakers Field to Sacramento, where we changed planes for our final leg to good old PDX.  The pilot told us it was foggy and I grabbed this quick phone pic as we were taking off.  I love how the fog forms little tepees around each lamp post. 🙂

Be kind to yourself today – you deserve it!!!
