This entire list, Karen. Magic. The compliments to other women gets me everytime or just the smiles of care when we pass each other. Precious! Thank you for these offerings Karen!
Reading this was like taking an antidepressant. On a very blue winter day here. Thank you Giselle, I will practice using these eyes in seeing the world that I have lost lately in their pools of tears. This was so lovely to read. ❤️🩹
In a time of so much stress and fear and division, this was such a healing piece to read. We ARE all human and we are all walking each other home, even if that’s easy to forget. I once read a book that said there’s a difference between Life and Living. Living is all the Things We Need to Do. Work, clean, cook. And Life is the things in between, the hand holding, letting people know a song title, holding doors open. (I adore the door opening too! It’s so cute!) The book said we need to get a life. To me, this essay was all about that - how to get a Life. Easy to miss or ignore, but ultimately the thing that makes Living worthwhile.
Isn't this just everything. I will look for this book for sure. Even just the word "life" has such power and beauty within it. Thank you for reading me! And sharing this. Such a gorgeous thought.
Loved every word of this. There are so many things to love but for some reason what popped into my head was someone watching you take a bite of something they cooked. Also the way you get weak and have to lean when you are laughing really hard.
Deirdre! I am absolutely melting at this. There's just such beauty in watching people enjoy your food, isn't there? Also, when you're cooking and you give someone a spoonful to taste and blow on it to cool it down. Precious. Thank you for being here ❤️
I love when black people honor each other with a knowing “hello” when we’re surrounded by white people.
I love when babies look at me intently. I smile and wave and if they are crying, I promise them it will be okay.
I love the honesty and authenticity of children. They are no bs.
Giving sincere compliments to women I don’t know out and about.
“Your haircut is fabulous!”
“You’re killing it in that outfit,Sis!”
Simple things. 🩵

The way some people naturally curtsey a little or bow to each other without being prompted.
A gleam in an eye.
