Let The Bubbles Fly – Read Our Summer Issue

A shimmer of hope, a shimmer of care, a shimmer of brighter days…I like the idea of a bubble of kindness floating by at just the right moment for the person in need of it.

In our current world, we tend to worry that a gesture of kindness might feel too intrusive or too personal. But speaking as someone who has needed kindness (and who hasn’t?), I can tell you that a kind text, a kind gift, or a kind word delivered into my world has never been unwelcome. If I stop to think about it, perhaps it is impossible to overstep with kindness, or in our analogy, impossible to blow too many beautiful bubbles toward someone.

I know I have often under-stepped concerning kindness, probably because I have been too preoccupied or too oblivious. Perhaps sometimes I have looked the other way as an excuse to not feel awkward or to avoid the discomfort of not knowing what to do or say.

Hopefully we can brave the weird feelings and not hesitate to send a shimmer of kindness to someone you know well or someone who is just passing through your day. — Anita Oldham
