My best friend and sisters recently told me on separate occasions that they were going through a hard time, whether it be feeling really sad, tired, or upset. I know what it is like to feel blue, so I took out my stationery supplies and wrote them each a letter. I decorated their envelopes and stamped cute stamps onto the paper I wrote on. I included some stickers and wrote words from my heart that empathized with what they were going through, encouraged them, and wished them well. Writing letters is one of my favorite things to do, so I was happy to get the chance to spread a little…

I recently came across a heartwarming video on TikTok featuring a lonely 94-year-old lady residing in a nursing home. It moved me to learn that her birthday falls on the 14th of February, Valentine’s Day. I feel inspired to bring a smile to her face by sending her a heartfelt birthday card. It reads, “Happy 94th birthday and Happy Valentine’s Day! On this special day, I want to let you know that you are thought of and loved. You have lived a long and full life and I hope this birthday brings you joy and happiness. I know that sometimes it can feel lonely, but I hope this birthday will…

I give away what I dont useto those who are in need . I see a person walking in the pouring rain without an umbrella, I give em mine. I offer my jacket and tent to a homeless person. I cover homeless people sleeping without a blanket in winter, a warm quilt. Its not the case that I hold onto possessions thinking i might need it later. I give away my own blessings without hesitation.

I hesitate to write this but may it be heard. Years ago, I visited a certain monastery and stayed as a volunteer. A young man in the community criticized, discriminated indirectly against me for having make-up on in front of others. Therefore suggesting I am not fit. The teacher laughed and replied to him that this person has a good heart. The discussion ended. Almost two decades later, i still held animosity for this young man whom ordained as a monk since then. Still, the animosity was there and i did not care to listen to his talks and dismissed him as a fool as foolish as I am. Then…

My sister wanted to celebrate her birthday painting ceramics with her friends, but after realizing that it might be too expensive for everyone, I came up with an idea. I told her to ask her friends what they wanted to paint, and over the course of two weeks, I made the items they wanted out of air-dry clay. I went and bought more paint brushes, just to make sure they had enough to share. Her friends came over to our house and got to sit, talk, and laugh together while painting. I heard some of her friends say that it was their first time painting clay. At the end of…

Our family of four just came back from our year-end trip from Northern California to four national parks in Southern California and Arizona. We spent six nights in four hotels during the seven-day trip. We were very grateful to hotel staff who still worked very hard during the holiday season. What we did was leaving tips along with a hand-written thank you note in the hotel room when we checked out. In addition, I made sure that we also tipped the hotel staff who made continental breakfast for us. On our last day of the trip, when we were getting our car’s tank filled up with gas, it occurred to…
