A to Z: K is for Kindness


Originally posted here, here it is again; K is for Kindness:

If you could just
show a smile, be kind
go up to a stranger
and do something special;
You could touch a soul
and be remembered.

You may be a stranger
but as sisters
in humanity, in faith
we know how to be together
to do things unbelievably touching.

(written Apr. 7, 11)

---

Broken may something be
yet all you have to do is fix it
or at least try
to show you love.

=) Women are pretty awesome--I mean by way of caring for one another. Or they can be. And they should be. There's no telling how far a little kindness can go.

What's up Wednesday

Hello readers, What I'm Reading : I got and read two e-Arcs. 1. Behind the Stars by Leigh T Moore. I gave it 5 stars. The synopsis was left vague which left the story to be unexpected. 2. The Attic of Sand and Secrets by Medeia Sharif. I gave it 4 stars. I love the mystery. I love the diversity. Also, I finally... for the first time, got to read THRONE OF GLASS by Sarah J Maas!! I gave it 5 stars. You will find more in depth reviews on goodreads . What I'm Writing : I'm in that two week slump for NaNoWriMo. This weekend I was at 17k. It's been three days and I'm at 18k.
