MAY 24 - Blooming Kindness

Day 144 of a year of Kindness

I dug out the swallow-worts in my garden. They look totally harmless but they kill Monarch butterfly larvae and also choke the plants around them. As I was pulling them out, I thought of all the “swallow-worts” that I have plucked from my life. A few years ago, I left my marriage and my corporate job. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. But if you don’t pull the swallow-worts from your life and your garden - nothing can bloom. The world needs all of the butterflies and all of the gardens to bloom.

Science of kindness: Research shows that pulling the weeds from our gardens helps the flowers grow and makes room for more beauty to bloom. #kindnessiscontagious #kindnessisfree #kindness #bekind #garden #bloomwhereyouareplanted
